Christianity was formally introduced by the Spaniards to the Carigaran-on in 1595. On July 16, 1995, a 400th Leyte Evangelization was celebrated which marked the propagation of Christian faith and the profession of worship to the Triumph of the Holy Cross, which is the patron of the community.
The town is one of the major municipalities in Eastern Visayas primarily because of its socio-economic status and agricultural diversity, to wit: great business estabhlishments, farm products (copra and rice), and rich aquatic resources. In 2000, Carigara Bay was declared by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, as the no. 1 fishery site in the Philippines where numerous species of fish can be found.
With its rich traditions and culture and deep Christian faith, the town of Carigara is truly amazing! - (cutiebhoi-olram '08)
