In March 1871, Lobo, a visita under the jurisdiction of Taysan, and its residents requested the Governor-General for the visita to be an independent town and its parish due to reasons of long walking distance and difficult travel to the mother town.

Still, the request to the parish was temporarily suspended until the church, the convent, and a school were adequately built.

On November 20, 1872, the King of Spain approved the request to build the parish[2] and on February 4, 1873, the Governor, Viceroy of the Philippine Islands, enacted the king's order, formally founding the parish.

When the Diocese of Lipa was made in 1910, the parish was given to a Belgian priest, Fr.

Raymundo Esquinet, along with the parishes of San Jose, Ibaan, Bauan, Taysan, Cuenca, and Tombol.
