From 1730 through 1818, Guinobatan, or its Poblacion, was
repeatedly relocated. It was situated in the area that is now
known as Binanuaan in the year 1730. After that, it was moved to
the Bubulusan, moved again to the present place, and after the
1814 eruption, it was transported to Mauraro.

The revolutionary leader of Albay and a hero of the Philippine Revolution
is Gen. Simeon Arboleda Ola. In 1903, he was the final Filipino general to
surrender to American forces. According to legend, his remains are
interred at the shrine erected in recognition of his valor and bravery.
Additionally, the Museo de Guinobatan houses relics, collections, and
other mementos from Gen. Ola and his allies.
Over a year after General Miguel Malvar capitulated to the
Americans on April 16, 1902, Simeon Arboleda Ola, the revolutionary
leader of Guinobatan, Albay, surrendered to American Colonel Harry
H. Banholtz on September 25, 1903. General Ola gave up on the
understanding that his troops would receive amnesty.

The Franciscan Missionaries of Camalig discovered the
indigenous tribes of Guinobatan in 1578 at Tandarora and
Bubulusan, which were formerly a part of Camalig but are now
barrios of Guinobatan. In 1672–1678, when Christianity began to
spread in the area, the missionaries gathered the converts in a
nearby location called Binanuaan. This community saw
significant growth, became known as permanent Vista, and was
assigned the title of Christian outpost. Mauraro, a little town at
the time with 217 residents, was also seen as a transitory
religious outpost.
