Unknown to most residents of Pamplona, the town traced its origin to flourishing settlements along the Bicol river long before the coming of Spain. With the establishment of the colonial government, these villages formed part of strings of encomienda settlements dotting the riverine district. As transit point to the seaport of Pasacao and the city of Nueva Caceres, these clusters of villages served as the most valuable source of manpower for hauling galleons goods way until the twilight of the Spanish regime. This book, Pamplona: A Royal Highway to the Galleons, provides the most definitive historical account of this town.
