The area south of Wawa settlement was flourished with a plant called "
hagunoy". That area later became known as Hagonoy. It was visited by Chinese merchants during the
Ming dynasty, who traded products such as bowls, plates, glasses, and cups. During
the Spanish rule of the Philippines,
Taguig became a
pueblo (town) of the
province of Manila on April 25, 1587, It was then administered by Claro Cuevas as the village president () after the country declared
its independence from Spain on June 12, 1898. The barangay was reduced in size after the
Sangguniang Panlungsod of Taguig passed City Ordinance No. 24 to separate the San Miguel Proper from its jurisdiction to form an independent barangay to be known as San Miguel, which was ratified through a
plebiscite on December 28, 2008. == Geography ==
