It was named after Major General Guillermo Peñamante Nakar (1905–1942), the martyred leader of the 1st Battalion of the 71st Infantry Division of the USAFFE against the attacking Japanese Forces and a native of barangay Anoling.[5]


History


In the late 1940s, the locals, headed by forester Fortunato Avellano, initiated a petition to create the municipality. It came into fruition with the help of Quezon's 1st district Representative Fortunato Suarez and Quezon Governor Gregorio Santayana.[5]

On July 21, 1949, the barrios of Anoling, Banglos, Batangan, Magsikap, Maligaya, Minahan, Katablingan and Pamplona, then part of the municipality of Infanta, were separated and constituted into a new and separate municipality known as General Nakar, by virtue of Executive Order No. 246 signed by President Elpidio Quirino. Also in the executive order, the municipality of Maria Aurora was created out of Baler.[6]
