History
Valderrama is an ancient settlement by indigenous people called Iraynon-Bukidnon who lived in Gimpanan, the present-day San Agustin. During the colonial period, people living in Bugasong cleared the eastern banks of Cangaranan River and established Caberi-an, so-named after the plant called beri.
In 1865, Caberi-an was organized into a town and renamed Valderrama after Governor-General Manuel Blanco Valderrama, while the church was established in 1868.
