The Municipality of San Jose was named in honor of Jose Ecleo who was its pioneer and the father of the late renowned mayor of the Municipality of Dinagat.
It was once a part of the municipality of Dinagat. Even then, San Jose has been significantly progressive compared with the Poblacion until its creation as a municipality on November 15, 1989, by virtue of Republic Act No. 6769 authored by Glenda B. Ecleo, during the time of President Corazon C. Aquino. [5] The creation was amended on December 20, 2009, an act to amend Section 1 of the above-mentioned Republic Act through Republic Act 9859 covering an area of 3,422 hectares. It was within its jurisdiction twelve (12) barangays namely; San Jose, Matingbe, Aurelio, Jacquez, San Juan, Mahayahay, Don Ruben, Justiniana Edera, Santa Cruz, Cuarinta, Wilson and Luna.
San Jose has many roads, a commercial establishment, a concrete port, a college and other urban uses not common to rural communities.
In the 19th Congress of the Philippines, house bills were filed by various representatives which seeks San Jose including other capital towns of provinces with no current component cities, independent component cities or highly urbanized cities to automatically convert into cities. [6] [7] [8]
San Jose is politically subdivided into 12 barangays. [9] Each barangay consists of puroks while some have sitios.
