Since he was a popular man in the community the place was called after him, Can-ogong, meaning “Ogong’s place”.Can-ogong was then changed to Clarin when it was organized as a municipality in honor of the first Civil Governor of Bohol, Hon. Anecito Clarin.During World War II, its central school was used by the Japanese as a concentration camp for suspected persons.
