Batas Pambansa Bilang 86, approved on September 20, 1980, created the municipality out of Barangays Bunhian, Damag, Galonogon, Itab, Jacmal, Taang, Talete, and Ubao, from the Municipality of Mayoyao.

The economy is mostly agricultural with palay as the main crop.

Aguinaldo is 86 kilometres (53 mi) from Lagawe and 403 kilometres (250 mi) from Manila.

History

The area comprising Aguinaldo was formerly a part of Mayoyao called Bunhian. In the 1970s, the leaders of the barrios of Bunhian, Galonogon, Ubao, Ta-ang, Jacmal, Damag, Talite and Itab, called for their separation from Mayoyao. As such, petitions were filed by brothers Romulo and Gualberto Lumauig, who represented Ifugao in the House of Representatives of the Philippines and the Interim Batasang Pambansa respectively. This culminated with President Ferdinand Marcos signing into law Batas Pambansa Bilang 86 (National Law No. 86) establishing the municipality of Aguinaldo on September 20, 1980. The town was named in honor of the Philippines' first president, Emilio Aguinaldo, who passed by the area while fleeing the Americans during the Philippine-American War.
