The history of the town as a barrio of Siniloan dates back to 1612 when its natural resources were first exploited by home seekers from Daraitan in
Tanay. These home seekers named the place Calumpang, after a big shady Calumpang tree that grows in the heart of the place. Year after year, the inhabitants of the place increased. People from nearby towns were attracted to the barrio because of the vast area of uncultivated lands. They succeeded in making the lands suitable for food crops. They especially made use of the lowlands where more of the inhabitants settled. Home industries gained interest among women. Spiny bamboos were planted as raw materials for the basket industry that remain an important industry in the present. In spite of these changes the people continued the development of the barrio. They tried their best to increase the area of cultivated lands. The inhabitants of this municipality were not satisfied of being a barrio again of Siniloan, so they filed a request to the Governor General that Famy be a town again, citing that no salary for services rendered will be asked and that the municipal hall and school buildings shall be constructed, all on the help of the town's people. By virtue of this request, the Governor General issued Executive Order No. 60 series of 1910, separating Famy from Siniloan. This order took effect on August 15, 1910. ==Geography==
