History
Marilao traces its origin to a barrio of its neighboring town Meycauayan. Franciscan missionaries from Meycauayan built a visita (chapel) dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel therein.
On April 21, 1796, the Barrio of Marilao was established as a pueblo as approved by the Alcalde Mayor of Bulacan and the Franciscan friars of Meycauayan, with the approval of Archbishop of Manila, the visita of San Miguel Arcangel became a town church where Padre Vicente de Talavera served as its parish priest. Between 1901 and 1903, it was consolidated with Meycauayan. The 1818 Spanish census recorded the area having 881 native families and 28 Spanish-Filipino families.
