Founded On February 14, 1960, as the Eastern Samar National Regional Agricultural School (ESNRAS) through R.A. 2434.

The school was later established in Malbog, far-flung barrio of Borongan, reach only by climbing steep mountains and by crossing creeks.

In 1967, the school was resettled to its present location between the barangays of Tabunan and Maypangdan, some seven kilometers away from the provincial capital city of Borongan.

The school was converted into the Eastern Samar Junior Agricultural College (ESJAC) in 1973 to meet the clamor for the offering of the collegiate courses.

Republic Act 8291, enacted on June 6, 1997, mandated the CHED Supervised Higher Education Institutions of a province to integrate into a State College or a university (SUC) System.
