Tarangnan is found near the former ancient pueblo Tinago, the first town to be Christianized and was made a center or cabecera. During the earlier part of the 17th century, Tarangnan or Tinago was the first settlement of Jesuit missionaries on the island of Samar. Tinago was the first cabecera on Samar where the first Jesuits have arrived, that is October 15, 1596. When Tinago was devastated by the Moro attack in 1618, the Jesuits decided to transfer the cabecera to Catbalogan. Since that time Tinago had not came back to life as pueblo until 1725. The poblacion was established at Dapdap but for access and sanitation it was moved to tarangnan in 1883-1884. The attempted transfer of the pueblo from Dapdap to Tarangnan in 1882 became highly celebrated case. It was a struggle or a fight between the parish priest of Dapdap, Fr. Angel Pulido, OFM and the governadorcillo of Dapdap.( Source: Wikipedia, http:// en. wikipedia. org / wiki / Tarangnan,_ Samar) 17 Op cit., Perrine 18“ Soldiers Battle With Bolomen, Seven Americans Fall in a Fight on Island of Samar,” San Francisco Call, Volume 91, Number 27, 27 December 1901 19“ Report of the Lieutenant-General Commanding the Army and Department
