History
The site of Barcelona was originally part of Gubat and Bulusan. The town's name was known as Danlog, taken from the name of a local river. The change of name to Barcelona was recommended by a Spanish official who saw some similarities with Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain). On April 16, 1886, it became a pueblo civil. Until 1868, it was part of the parish of St. James the Great of Bulusan. After 1868, it took St. Joseph as its patron saint and celebrates their town fiesta on May 19.[1]
For most of the Fourth and Fifth Republics, it was governed by Mayors Rustico Estopace and Salvador Estuye. Barcelona is best known for its abundant supply of coconuts, copra, and root crops such as sweet potato & cassava.
