history
According to tradition, the parish was part of the parish of Baclayon in the 19th century as Barrio Nug-as . In 1884 it became an independent municipality, which was given the new name Corella , named after the city of the same name in the northern Spanish province of Navarra .
In 1935, some of Corella's residents emigrated to Mindanao and founded the settlement New Corella there , now a municipality in the Davao del Norte province .
During the Second World War, Corella was initially a commandant of the rebels, until the Japanese finally took control of the area in 1942. During the occupation, which lasted until May 1945, the Japanese troops used the schools in Barangay Poblacion as a garrison and barracks .

Economy and tourism
Corella has no industry to speak of. The inhabitants live mainly from agriculture and animal husbandry. Corella is known to tourists as the home of the Tarsier (→ Philippines Koboldmaki ). On the territory of the municipality, as well as the neighboring municipalities of Loboc and Sikatuna, there is a 167 hectare reserve for the endangered primate species. A 15-kilometer hiking trail called the Tarsier Trail offers eco-tourists the opportunity to explore nature and observe the Koboldmakis in their natural habitat from special vantage points. Not far from the Tarsier reserve is the Roman Catholic Church of Corella. The building erected in 1924 is surrounded by a park-like facility.
