According to reliable data gathered, Estrella once used to be characterized with big trees and heavy forest where birds conveniently live. The coastlines are clean including the small creek that traverse the barangay.

The Bulwagan River is as blue as the sky. The first families who came to Estrella were that of Luis Mortel, Ramon Mortel and Gregorio Manalo. Like any other fishermen they use the hook and line for their livelihood and later they use small fishing nets. Everyone clean a portion of the area and later claim ownership of it in as much as there are still few residents and the territory is still available.

Estrella was named after Martin Estrella, a foreigner. It was Sotero Orlina who became the first known leader and was called “Teniente del Bario”. He was an example of the true spirit of the leader of the barangay extending help and/or assistance physically and financially.

As time goes by, people started to cut trees for their shelter needs and for agriculture purposes. Hence, the once forested area was cleaned and a young settlement was established.

Later, a public elementary school was opened and named Estrella Elementary School (now Leon Garong Memorial School). An access road was constructed connecting to the provincial road and now, another access road (by the seashore) connecting the neighboring Barangay Sta. Cruz.

At present, Estrella is still considered one of the depressed barangays being a coastal barangay. But their leaders are strongly and enthusiastically doing everything to improve their lot. During the Marcos era, a big Human Settlement building was constructed but with the change of administration, the building and
the office was abolished.

Estrella is located adjacent to Tablas Street and in the Southern part of Naujan. The coastline is separated from a neighboring Barangay of San Antonio by Bulwagan River extending up to Poblacion II and Poblacion III. Gong North, the neighboring Barangay is Sta. Cruz. Estrella has seven (7) Sitios and has an area of approximately 500 hectares.
