Spanish forces landed at the site of Real early in the colonization period, calling it "San Rafael". Spanish galleons and ships docked at the port "Puerto Real De Lampon" reinforced forces stationed at the nearby place "Binangonan De Lampon" now known as Infanta. Located at the coast of Polillo Strait, it was frequently vulnerable to attacks by Muslim sea pirates and bandits. The first inhabitants of the place came from barangays of Binangonan Del Ampon. [7]
Formerly a barrio of Infanta, Real was created into a municipal district comprising the barrios of Llavac, Cawayan, Capalong, Tignoan, Kiloloron, Lubayat and Pandan which were all segregated from the mother town of Infanta by virtue of Executive Order No. 410 dated December 15, 1960, signed by President Carlos P. Garcia. [8] It was later converted to a regular municipality through Republic Act No. 3754 dated June 22, 1963. [9]
On November 29, 2004, Real was hit hard by Typhoons Winnie, Violeta, and Yoyong. About 500 people were either killed or missing.
The origin of the name Real has no traditional folklore as basis. Its name originated as a result of the landing of the Spanish forces in the place during its regime. The Spaniards made it part of its territory naming it “Puerto Real” (lit. transl. Royal Port), where the name of the municipality was derived. Spanish dalleons and ships docked at the port, while reinforced forces were stationed at the nearby Binangonan De Lampon (now Infanta). [7]
