San Narciso, officially the Municipality of San Narciso (Tagalog: Bayan ng San Narciso), is a 1st class municipality in the province of Quezon, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 53,375 people.[6]
San Narciso was founded in 1846, during the Spanish colonial period of the Philippines, by Governor-General Narciso Clavería y Zaldúa, following his official visit to the eastern coast of the Bondoc Peninsula. Upon discovering the three sparsely populated and poorly situated villages of Abuyon, Maayas, and Sugbungkugon, Claveria conferred with the cabezas de barangay to propose consolidating these communities into a single site. The inhabitants agreed to the proposal and named the new town San Narciso in honor of Claveria.[1]
On August 20, 1959, barrios Alibijaban, Camplora, Mangero, Pansoy, San Andres, and Tala were separated from San Narciso to form the municipal district of San Andres, by virtue of Executive Order (EO) No. 353 under President Carlos P. Garcia.[7]
