History
Before its municipal jurisdiction, Liloy was once a barrio of the municipality of Sindangan in the old Zamboanga province. By virtue of Executive Order No. 469 issued by President Elpidio Quirino on August 22, 1951, the municipality of Liloy was organized, separated from Sindangan. The municipality contains Barrio Liloy, designated as the seat of the government, and eight sitios. It was inaugurated on December 16 of the same year. The first municipal mayor of Liloy was Arsenia Almonte Teves.
The seat of the municipal government had been transferred at least twice—to Timan and to Upper Liloy Beach.
Liloy subsequently lost large portions of its territory when two separate municipalities were created.
By virtue of Republic Act No. 2510 enacted in 1959, eleven barrios were separated to establish Salug.
By virtue of Batas Pambansa Blg. 14 approved in 1978, seven barangays were separated to establish Tampilisan.
