A glimpse to the history...
The existence of Catanauan as a pueblo (town) was first recorded in the map of Father Pedro Murillo dated on 1734. The recognized foundation year of the Municipality was 1713 called as NABATASAN.
In the late 18th and 19th century, there were frequent Moro raids so the people decided to construct two small stone forts or watch towers (MAGKATANAWAN) mounted with artillery. Hence, the name CATANAUAN was so derived.
