History
Tamban is found along the floodplains of Tambang River. It used to be a wilderness until the Cadwalader Lumber Company was founded in 1931, clearing the forest. In 1936, the company moved to Siruma, and the people began to settle and to cultivate its land with crops. The place was previously called Camp Isarog, but it was renamed after the river in 1946. In 1949, Tamban was parceled into land ownership by the Bureau of Lands.
St. Joseph Church was in existence as a parish for years. Yet it was never formally declared as a parish until April 16, 1990 when a decree of its canonical erection was fixed as October 10, 1965 with Fr. Roman Modino Jr. as the first parish priest.
