HISTORY


The town's name came from the Tagalog expression, ''"kabit sa binti"''. The Aeta s, the early dwellers of the land, performed a wedding ritual in which the groom chases his bride to the riverbank. The groom will try to capture his bride by her legs (''"binti"''), with the witnesses shouting, ''"Kabit sa binti, kabit sa binti!"'' This phrase later became "Kabinti"; hence the name.
