Etymology

The first recorded name of Vinzons was Tacboan and was later changed to Indan at which time the Mayor was Pedro Barbin.[http://my.wn.com/search/carlos_i?p=4800&t=details/ World News , Vinzons, Camarines Norte, November 19, 2013] The town was then renamed "Vinzons" in honor of Wenceslao Q. Vinzons, then Governor of the province. He was the youngest delegate to the 1934 Philippine Constitutional Convention and a guerrilla leader martyred by the Japanese during World War II.

History

File:Flag_of_Vinzons.png

The town was established in 1581 by the Franciscan priests without a patron saint and without a church. In 1611, Fr. Juan de Losar, OFM built a church named after Saint Peter. Fr. Losar was the first Parish Priest of the church. In 1624, the whole town of Tacboan was relocated and it was called Indan where a new church was built with the same Patron Saint, St. Peter the Apostle.{{Cite web |title=Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Church, Tacloban City, Philippines |url=https://orthodox-world.org/en/i/13953/philippines/leyte/tacloban-city/church/saints-peter-and-paul-orthodox-church }}
