marilao.gov.ph →The name "Marilao" is rooted in the Tagalog word "marilaw," meaning "yellowish." This term is directly linked to "dilaw," the Tagalog word for "yellow." The name came about due to the abundance of a distinctive yellow plant that thrived in the area. Marilao's origins trace back to its time as a barrio of the neighboring town of Meycauayan. Franciscan missionaries from Meycauayan played a significant role in its early development, constructing a visita (chapel) dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel within the barrio. Marilao also played a part in the development of the country's infrastructure, becoming a segment of the railroad track that connected Manila to Dagupan, Pangasinan. This significant railway line was completed on March 24, 1889. The bagong pilipinas campaign as the administration's brand of governance and leadership.
