The "New Municipality" included eight barrios then, namely, maayon, fernandez, pi4a, balighot, batabat, guia, tuburan and cancupian sur. Now it has 32 barangays.
As to the origin of the name of maayon not much has been written about it,but folks speach of several versions and one among these considered most popular was when a group of spanish soldiers while pursuing the insurrectus, discovered a settlement near the bank od the river.Finding the people to be hospitable and nice, they ask for the name of the place.The natives answered"Mango man".So the spanish named the settlement "El Pueblo de maayo".
