History
San Isidro was formerly called "Gaboc". It was blessed with fertile valleys and plains, and its farmers used to experience excess of farm produce which spoils ("gaboc" in local dialect). The residents used to have more than enough food for their daily consumption. As farmers, the residents chose St Isidore the Laborer, patron saint of the National Rural Life Conference, to be also their patron Saint. St. Isidore or San Isidro, was born in Madrid, Spain, and spent his life as a humble farm worker.
The then barangay captain Anacleto Sandulan with his barangay council passed a resolution changing the name of Gaboc to San Isidro, which was approved by a majority of its constituents in a plebiscite. It was endorsed by the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Tagbilaran, and was approved in April 1969.
Administration
San Isidro is divided into seven puroks or sitios.
