The story of the Municipality of San Narciso had its beginning from the stories
surrounding the villages of Obuyon as its principality. A petition was presented by the
village of Maayas-as on March 5, 1845 to the authorities in Manila especially to the
Governor General stating that it was their desire to have the principality transferred from
Obuyon to Maayas-as. Their reason was the village of Maayas-as was centrally located
between the three villages and therefore it will be easier to the people to congregate
there immediately. When the leaders of Obuyon knew this matter they also presented a
counter petition saying that it will be a great mistake to transfer the principality because
of the following reasons: 1) Obuyon has the required school building to house the
community; 2) it has the necessary building that is required of a principality; 3) It has the
necessary and qualified men to run the local government.
These petitions were given due attention by Governor General Narciso Claveria in
1846. He boarded the steamship Paula Regente for Obuyon to see for himself the real
situation of the case. Upon reaching the place and made ocular inspection he finally
concluded that the town should be established not in any villages but in the present site
of what is known San Narciso. This change was contained in the decree which he
proclaimed when he returned to Manila. The decree was sent to the parochial priest of
the principality, Rev. Fr. Francisco Mendieta San Buenaventura, who was given the
authority to convince the people of Obuyon, Maayas-as and Sugbong-cogon to transfer
to the new site. Upon suggestion of the leaders of Obuyon the name given to the locality
was San Narciso in honor of Governor General Narciso Claveria who visited the place.
As a result of the new order of the Governor General, about sixty families from Obuyon
transferred to the place without protest. From Maayas-as about forty families also
transferred. The people of Sugbong-cogon requested the Governor General that they
be given the freedom to stay in San Andres because said place is much nearer that of
San Narciso. About one hundred families more or less founded the new community
known as San Narciso.
