History
The town was previously founded at a point Pambuhan River meets the sea in Caramoan peninsula, but it was moved to the present location due to its exposure to assaults by Moro raiders. It later became part of a large estate of Andres Garchitorena, a Filipino revolutionary member who hailed from the town of Tigaon. He founded a processing plant for abaca and spearheaded the abaca industry in the settlement.
On March 4, 1949, President Elpidio Quirino signed Executive Order No. 205 that established the municipality of Anderson. Its jurisdiction extended over former barrios of Caramoan such as San Miguel, Harrison, Toytoy, Sumaoy, Binagasbasan and Denrica, the sitios of San Vicente, Cagamotan, Tamiawon, Lamit, and Pulon Daga; the Malabungot islands, Lamit islands, Quinalanag island and neighboring islets.
By virtue of Executive Order No. 218, the new municipality was renamed to Garchitorena on May 28, 1949.
The church meanwhile was established on March 2, 1900.
