history
Mogpog was founded in 1807 by a local governor during the Spanish colonial days. These so-called gobernadorcillos were later called Capitan Municipal or Municipal Mayor . The first Capitan Municipal was Don Nicolas del Rosario.
The parish church of St. Isidore was also built in 1807.
Mogpog comes from the word Maapog , which means an abundance of apog (clay) or from Mag-aapog , which refers to lime burners or lime production. A calero (Spanish for lime kiln ) already existed in the neighborhood when the Spaniards arrived, so that the Filipino expression was probably adopted for it.
In the late 17th and 18th centuries, Mogpog was surrounded by wooded areas that were later converted into a variety of small areas for growing rice and root crops .
The hill known as Mataas na Bayan was later called Anapog ; the place where the caleros (lime burners) and their families lived. Their houses were covered with cogon , the walls were made of palm leaves.
The Tubong (also known as Putong ) arose out of these simple people . It is a joyful musical performance, accompanied by dance steps that express thanksgiving and prayer for the well-being and long life of an anniversary or a visitor from another location.
During the tenure of Mayor Macario Arceo in 1904, the community ran into financial difficulties and Mogpog asked the government for help. For a period of four years Mogpog was under the administration of Boac, but not as a barangay, but as a sub-community with its own local council.
Tax income improved in 1909, and when Regino Labao became city director in 1910, the community recovered from its financial deficits to such an extent that Boac's supervision was lifted.
In 1942 the Japanese troops occupied the city of Mogpog.
In 1945 the city was liberated from the Japanese by the American and Filipino troops in the Battle of Marinduque .
