During the Spanish time, Daan Bilolo was a part of Barangay Wakas (then known as Barangay de Hipolito dela Cruz). Only the Eastern portion fronting the main road of Orion was dotted with houses at that time. It remained in such condition for many years even after the Orion Elementary School was established in the area in 1907.

Daan Bilolo is still non-existent as a barangay after new barangays were created in 1915 by former Governer Maximino delos Reyes. The former agricultural area remained a part of Barangay Wakas until Governor Gregorio Quicho, a native of Orion, decided to create Daan Bilolo as a regular barangay in 1928.

Barangay Daan Bilolo finally expanded after the existing trail way to then Sitio Bilolo was widened and improved in the late 1930’s. In a short period, new houses were erected in the Southern bank of San Vicente River. The first Ice Plant in Orion named Alma Ice Plant was established in the area but no longer exist. In time, the place became a populated community.

Despite the earlier creation of Daan Bilolo as a barangay, former Mayor Manuel R. Santos, deemed it necessary to pass another resolution on July 24, 1961, proclaiming both Daan Bilolo and Wakas as separate and regular barangays.

In 1967, the Sangguniang Bayan of orion also passed a resolution renaming Daan Bilolo as “ Nayong Magiting”. But the residents protested and the resolution was shelved.

The barangay continues to play host to Orion Elementary School.
