History
Milagros is one of the original municipalities of Masbate since its creation as a New Province by virtue of Philippine Commission Act. No. 105 enacted on March 18, 1901. It is the mother municipality of Cawayan, Balud and Mandaon until their creation under Executive Order 244.
The former dominant political clan in Milagros was the De Jesus clan and followed by the Abapo clan. In 2015, former Milagros town Mayor Bernardito Abapo was arrested in a raid by the Philippine National Police and Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency on a suspected drug laboratory in Masbate province. The results of the 2007 local elections replaced the Abapo clan by the Magbalon clan. Dr. Natividad Isabel Revil-Magbalon finished her 3-consecutive terms or a total of 9 years as being the mayor of the municipality. Since Dr. Natividad Isabel Magbalon was no longer able to run for mayor, her husband Jose Magbalon Jr. ran on her behalf and won the 2016 elections with 51.2% votes over his opponent Bobet Trias.
