History

Clarin was formed on 31 January 1919 from five barrios of Tubigon by virtue of proclamation by Governor General Francis Burton Harrison,[7][8] hence it celebrated its centennial in 2019.

Clarin was severely affected by the 2013 Bohol earthquake which damaged 1358 homes, of which 221 were totally destroyed, as well as the Catholic church.[9]
