| General Note |
- General note - A village named Catanghalan together with Bocaue, Marilao and a forested sitio presently known as San Jose del Monte were parts of the premier town of Meycauayan in 1578. In 1620, Catanghalan was elevated to the status of town and renamed Polo. Catanghalan remained a visita within the newly established pueblo until 1753 when the Spanish Governor-General Don Francisco de Obando acceded to the petition of the residents and decreed its autonomy. The newly formed town adopted the name "Obando" to honor its patron. Due to the difficulty of setting its boundaries, the separation only materialized in 1754. Fray Manuel de Olivencia of the Franciscan Order was chosen to administer the religious and political affairs of the town upon its creation. The town is situated at 14° 42'' 49" latitude in an even terrain intersected by various creeks and rivulets which empty into the Manila Bay. The unrest that partially issued from the occasional conflicts between the friar-owners of the large Hacienda de Malinta and the resident-tenants caused General Braulio Flamenco from Panghulo to organize a secret revolutionary movement in 1894. It spread to the surrounding towns and was later incorporated into the Katipunan. In 1885, Felix de Huerta in "Estado..." accounted for a well-constructed church-convent complex, a stone-tribunal roofed with nipa, a primary school, a plaza, six stone houses and a thousand and fifty bamboo huts distributed unevenly in the barrios. Obando was again reduced to the status of a barrio when it was united with Polo in 1903. Through the efforts of Sixto Joaquin, a resident and later, a presidente municipal, the barrio was re-separated from Polo in 1907.
