History
Established in the year 1600, Casiguran was the first missionary parish of Sorsogon. When the Spaniards first set foot in this part of Luzon in the 1570s, Casiguran was considered as their center of Kabikolan.
In 1583, the Franciscan missionaries took over the evangelization work started by the Augustinians.
A folk legend narrates that the name Casiguran originated phonetically from the Bicol phrase 'kasi gurang' (literally translated, "because old") as it was Sorsogon's first parish. Yet another narrative went that the nameless village's youngsters kept secluded to their homes, while only the elderly ventured outside; for fear that their children would be forced to servitude by the Spanish invaders. [citation needed]
