of the Municipality of Marilao is closely linked with the political and cultural history of Meycauayan City. In fact, Marilao was
just one of the barrios surrounding the Municipality of Meycauayan established by the Franciscans in 1578.
Due to Meycauayan's high rate of population growth and rapid pace of its economic advancement, one by one, the large
barrios separated from the mother town and became individual municipalities. Among these barrios is the duly constituted
Municipality of Marilao established on April 21, 1796.
