Catbalogan City History

The original name of the Catbalogan was Katbalaugan or Kabalaugan. It was first organized by the priests of the Jesuits Order or the Society of Jesus sometime in October 1596. On the first decades of the Spanish colonization of the country, Samar was under the jurisdiction of Cebu. Later, it was declared as a separate province. In 1735, Samar and Leyte were united into one province with Cariaga, in Leyte, as the capital. But the union did not prove satisfactory. In 1768, Catbalogan City became the provincial capital when Samar separated from Leyte and became an independent province.

From the colonization of Spaniards to the governance of Americans and to the oppressions of the Japanese troops, Catbalogan suffered much. Even though there were little developments when it comes to economy and infrastructures, the natives still hoped for the freedom they have been longing for. As early as 1960, Catbalogan already agitated to become a city. On March 15, 2007, Catbalogan finally attained its cityhood.
