History

Ragay was originally a visita of Lupi and became a separate town on April 15, 1753. The first settlement stood along the Paculago River and was inhabited by Bicol, Tagalog, and Visayan speaking groups. Frequent Moro raids forced residents to move to a safer area upstream. The new community was called Hagay, meaning single, and was occupied by Christian settlers. When raids stopped and the Spanish arrived, the town shifted to its present site. The name Ragay emerged in the 1840s after a Spanish soldier misheard a resident who mentioned Hagay. [6]
