History

Through Executive Order No. 67, issued by Governor-General Francis Burton Harrison on September 30, 1916, four barrios in Oroquieta were separated and organized into an independent municipality named Aloran, with one of them having the same name as its seat of government. The order became effective at the beginning of 1917.[5]
