Orion was reported to have a large convent and a massive beautiful church by the end of the 17th century. This was repaired in 1832, heavily damaged during the 1852 earthquake, and repaired numerous times since 1854. Orion's most prominent sons are Cayetano Arellano, the first Filipino Chief Justive of the Philippine Supreme Court, who was born there in 1847; and Francisco Baltazar, author of the epic Florante at Laura, who resided in Orion from 1842 until 1862.
