History
Aglayan is a Binukid term which means "a place of many aglay (adlai or Job's tears)". The area of what is now Aglayan was first inhabited by the Higaonon people and eventually became a sitio of Barrio Malaybalay of the pueblo of Oroquita del Interior in 1877. This area was the entry point to Linabo, a community established by Spanish missionaries. By 1948, Aglayan has had organized administration despite only being a sitio of Malaybalay. In 1960, through the approval of Resolution no. 53 series of 1960 by the Municipal Council of Malaybalay, Aglayan was officially converted into a regular barangay. As a regular barangay, Aglayan has experienced growth in population and economy as it became a hub of transportation and commerce in the city and the province. In 1990, it had reached a population greater than 4,000. By 1998, when Malaybalay became a chartered city, Aglayan became an urban barangay as a result.
