Etymology

The original name of the barangay is Hungduan. However, since the place was the center of the town during the American regime, the name was changed to Poblacion and Hungduan was used to name the municipality.

Political History

Ifugao was separated out from Mountain Province in 1918. It was then comprised of three municipalities, one of which is Kiangan where Hungduan presently known as Poblacion was one of its barangays. In 1921, Hungduan was separated from Kiangan to become the 5^th municipality of Ifugao through Executive Order No. 6 series of 1921. When Hungduan became a municipal district through E.O. No. 33 s. 1923, it had the following barangays: Abatan, Ahin, Ap-apid, Bangbang, Binablayan, Danggo, Eheb, Gumhang, Impugong, Luhong, Maggok, Poblacion, Tinoc, Tucucan and Wangwang. On 1982, under Batas Pambansa Bilang 184, eleven barangays of Hungduan were separated to create the Municipality of Tinoc. Poblacion was retained.
