The town was previously a barangay called Maligaya within the municipality of Pinamalayan, Maligaya was the largest barangay during the administration of President Diosdado Macapagal. Local politicians advocated for the conversion of Maligaya & adjacent barangays into a new town. They renamed it after the ten-year-old daughter of the President, who later on herself became the fourteenth President in 2001. Barangay Maligaya eventually became the capital (poblacion).
