History[edit]
In 1573, Bicol province was founded. From Bicol, the province of
Camarines
Camarines was created in 1636, which was divided in 1829, creating
Camarines
Camarines Norte and
Camarines
Camarines Sur. They were briefly merged from 1854
to 1857 into Ambos
Camarines
Camarines (ambos is Spanish for "both"). They were
merged into Ambos
Camarines
Camarines once again in 1893. The province was
divided into
Camarines
Camarines Norte and
Camarines Sur
Camarines Sur once again in 1917.
When
Camarines
Camarines Norte was separated from Ambos
Camarines
Camarines in 1829, it
was assigned the towns of Daet, as capital, Talisay, Indan (now
Vinzons), Labo, Paracale, Mambulao (now Jose Panganiban), Capalonga,
Ragay, Lupi and Sipocot.
Seventeen years later, it lost Sipocot, Lupi and Ragay to Camarines
Sur in exchange for the town of Siruma.
Spanish period[edit]
Spanish conquistador Juan de Salcedo, dispatched by Legazpi to explore
the island in 1571, influenced the existence of
Camarines
Camarines Norte. After
subduing Taytay and Cainta, he marched further across Laguna and
Tayabas.
He visited the rich gold-laden town of Mambulao and Paracale, obsessed
by them about which he heard from natives there of existing gold
mines.
When
Francisco de Sande
Francisco de Sande took over from Legazpi as
Governor
Governor General,
Spanish influence started to be felt in the region. He established a
permanent Spanish garrison in Naga to control the region and defend it
from Chinese and
Muslim
Muslim pirates. Capt. Pedro de Chavez was assigned to
head this force.
Native settlements, which include Mambulao and Paracale, were already
thriving when the Spaniards arrived. Indan and Daet were the other
settlements besides Capalonga. But
Paracale
Paracale remained the most sought
after because of its gold mines.[citation needed]
The towns were chiefly inhabited by Tagalogs; the rests were of
Visayan strain. However, most of the immigrants were from Mauban,
Quezon. The Spanish missionaries established missions to Christianize
the natives.
Daet Revolt[edit]
April 14–17, 1898 - Local members of the
Katipunan
Katipunan led by Ildefonso
Moreno and other patriots staged an uprising against the Spanish
authorities here who have fortified themselves in the house of one
Florencio Arana, a Spanish merchant and a long time resident of Daet.
Sporadic encounters started on April 14 until April 16 when the rebels
occupied Daet and surrounded the Spaniards in the house of Arana. But
the Katipuneros failed to repulse the reinforcements which arrived in
Barra (now Mercedes) from
Nueva Caceres on April 17. Said
reinforcements broke the siege of Daet. This resulted in the death
and/or execution of many patriots, including Ildefonso Moreno, Tomas
Zaldua and his two sons, Jose Abaño, Domingo Lozada and Aniceto
Gregorio, among others. While the Daet revolt collapsed, it signaled
the start of a series of rebellion throughout the Bicol region.
By virtue of Act 2809 of March 3, 1919,
Governor
Governor General F. B.
Harrison separated
Camarines
Camarines Norte from
Camarines Sur
Camarines Sur with the
installation of Don Miguel R. Lukban as its first governor. "In
functional sense, April 15, 1920, was the date of the organization of
Camarines
Camarines Norte, as directed by Executive Order No. 22 dated March 20,
1920, in conformity with the provisions of Act No. 2809," according to
Serafin D. Quiason, former chairman of the National Historical
Institute (NHI).
