Location
Located on the eastern part of the municipality, San Isidro is almost entirely surrounded by water – the sea and two rivers – so it resembles an island. It is mostly planted with coconut trees with the east and west given to fish ponds. It is a mainland barangay with plain and hilly dominant characteristics and its type of soil is sandy. It is bounded to the north by Sentinela, to the east by Tapal, to the south by barangay Union and to the west by Tipolo. It is 5 km (3.1 mi) from the town center, Poblacion.
History
In 1956, residents of surrounding sitios of mother barangay of Tapal petitioned to become independent barrios. Together with sitio Sentinela in the north and sitio Union in the south, the move received a massive support from its residents. On May 7, 1956, both Union and San Isidro became independent barangays from Tapal through Executive Order No. 178 issued by President Ramon Magsaysay.[4] Sentinela, on the other hand later became a separate barrio on July 8,1968.
San Isidro is named after its patron saint, Isidore the Laborer (San Isidro Labrador).
