History

The municipality of Torrijos was established on May 25, 1880 through Real Order No. 469. On May 29, 1884, Royal Decree No. 304 was issued, approving its ecclesiastical foundation into parish from its mother town Santa Cruz.[5]

On September 13, 1900, during the Philippine–American War an engagement in Torrijos pitted the forces of Philippine Revolutionary Army Colonel Maximo Abad against the Americans led by Captain Devereux Shields. Abad's men defeated the American force, it was one of the worst defeats suffered by the Americans during the war. This was known as the Battle of Pulang Lupa which took place in Torrijos. A monument now stands on the mountain where the battle took place, known as Pulang Lupa or "Red Mountain" due to the red soil.

In 1942, the Japanese occupied the town of Torrijos, Marinduque.

In 1945, in the Battle of Marinduque, American and Filipino troops fought in and around the town of Torrijos and Marinduque against the Japanese soldiers during World War II.
