History
Then a barrio, Baclaran was excised, alongside barrio Tambo, from the then-municipality of Parañaque to form part of the newly established municipality of Baclaran in 1965, when both municipalities were part of Rizal province. However, the Supreme Court of the Philippines later voided the creation of the new municipality, thus returning the aforementioned barrios to Parañaque.
Baclaran was established in 1971 in the municipality, now city, of Parañaque. It was later converted into a barangay alongside all other barrios in the Philippines in 1974.
In 1973, Cardinal Karol Józef Wojtyła (later Pope John Paul II), then the Archbishop of Kraków, visited the Baclaran Church and celebrated Mass there during a brief, unofficial stopover in Manila, which was his first visit to the Philippines. In 1981, Wojtyła as Pope John Paul II returned to the shrine as part of his apostolic visit to the Philippines.
