History
The Franciscans founded their missionary presence in Quipayo in 1578, and from there they worked to establish churches in several settlements including Manguiring. Its church was officially made into a parish on February 4, 1733.
By April 8, 1741, the Franciscan provincial Fray Sebastian Totanes instituted a plan to divide the mission into three zones: Santa Cruz de Manguiring, San Francisco de Salog (Goa), and Santa Clara de Tigaon. Under Manguiring the following visita were placed: Himoragat, Tinguinan, Ogob, Looc, Buric, Lucban, and Paniquan.
In 1754, the mission in Manguiring was transferred to Himoragat due to an outbreak of an epidemic where seven missionaries succumbed and died.
During the American occupation, Manguiring was annexed to Calabanga by virtue of Act No. 959 on October 23, 1903.
