History edit
By virtue of Executive Order No. 468 signed by President Elpidio Quirino on August 22, 1951, the municipality of Alicia (originally proposed as Naga-Naga) was organized, separated from Margosatubig in the old Zamboanga province. The municipality contains ten barrios with Naga-Naga the seat of the government.[5]
Three barangays were detached from Alicia, and along with parts of Malangas and Siay, were constituted into the new municipality of Imelda in 1977.[6]
