History
=Spanish occupation=
San Pablo is the oldest pueblo in the Province of Isabela. The town was founded on 1646 as Maquila by Fr. Pedro de Santo Tomas, making it the oldest town in Isabela and existing before the province's creation. The original name literally means sparkling. It was then renamed to Cabagan, loosely interpreted as the place where people wear "ba-ag" when the Spaniards arrived at the Philippine Islands.{{Cite web |date=15 January 2018 |title=Historical Development of the Municipality of San Pablo, Isabela |url=https://provinceofisabela.ph/images/2018/History_of_Isabela/5-History%20of%20San%20Pablo%20Isabela.pdf |access-date=June 25, 2024 |website=Province of Isabela - provinceofisabela.ph}}
Mengal Baladdon and his troops, disturbed by Fray Pedro Jimenez's success in establishing Christian communities in the Irraya, devastated Cabagan in 1683, killing twelve people and forcing the locals to escape to the mountains. The hamlet was on the point of collapse when the alcalde-mayor of Cagayan rescued it by killing some accomplices and capturing seventy. Their property was confiscated and given to the army.
In 1709, a fire destroyed the Cabagan Church and the convent.
=American occupation=
In the 1900s, Cabagan was subdivided into three divisions, namely: Cabagan Viejo, Cabagan Nuevo, and Santa Maria. Cabagan Viejo was then renamed to San Pablo, after its patron saint Paul the Apostle whose feast day is celebrated every January 15. Meanwhile, Cabagan Nuevo became the modern-day Cabagan, while Santa Maria retained its name.
=Japanese occupation=
=Philippine independence=
In 1959, Mayor Calixtro B. Cauan returned the government center to its former location, which is now the current location.{{Cite web |date=Apr 5, 1959 |title=Republic Act No. 2117 - San Pablo, Isabela Seat of Government Transferred to Centro |url=https://jur.ph/laws/summary/transfer-of-seat-of-government-of-san-pablo-isabela-to-centro |access-date=June 25, 2024 |website=Jur.ph - Philippine Jurisprudence and Laws}}
