Established in 1571, Carigara is the first town founded in the Eastern Visayas region. A pivotal development occurred in 1735 when Leyte and Samar were separated from Cebu province, forming a unified provincial governance structure with Carigara serving as provincial capital during this era.
Carigara is renowned for its distinct offerings, including pastillas, humba, sundang (machete), and the hubhob delicacy. Hubhob, a local delight, is crafted from grated cassava, eggs, kalamay, milk, and sugar, cooked within a bagacay (bamboo pole) over charcoal, bringing a unique and flavorful taste to this traditional specialty.
