The historical timeline of this barangay can be traced backed in 1927, wherein this place was thick forest predominantly inhabited by Maranao Muslim brothers and sisters. It was the later part of the said year came to the place and practice forest clearings for their homestead. With the arrival and intrusions of the Christians in the forest, they discovered  that it has been a haven and sanctuary of various poisonous snake which in the local dialect called “lala”  from which the name of the baranggay emanates.

 

   As the year passed by, a certain person namned “Kelog”, of no details in his origin came into the place and build a bodega-typed shelter. Upon completion of its construction, people in the area started to gather in the place talking and sharing experiences while establishing friendly relationships and family alliances between and among them. Unfortunately, Kelog did not live long for he was assassinated by unknown killer of no established motive.

 

   The Escaño which family from Cebu came later and brought the properties of the Christians of which later called as Compana la Urbana. By then, the bodega which Kelog once built was used to as first seat of informal education center as they taught the Doctrina Christiana and simple handwriting technique. A little capella was also built wherein a Eucharistic celebration will be officiated by the priests coming from Kolambugan.

 

  Another significant person arrived in the area in ther person of Mr. Cabog which introduced himself as a representative from Manila commissioned to study the place and its people. He  built a rest housre similar to that of Kelog’s abode, a mere bodega that serves a resting place by travellers and strangers and also being utilized as classroom. As the demand for classrooms increased, slassrooms were built in the neighboring locatgions. Unfortunately these buildings were burned as the war broke out. After the war these buildings were rebuilt by the people in the place in order to pursue classes which was stopped during the war.

   In 1949 Antonio Lim Sr. was appointed as Municipal Mayorof the Municipality of Lala. His Vice Mayor was Mr. Villanueva. Mayor Lim failed  to finish his term due to untimely death, while Mr. Villanueva assumed office as mayor for the rest of the term.

 

  Election came by then and Mr. Manuel Mendiola won the mayoralty race. The seat of government was then set up in Lala. The seat of government being in Lala did not make the people of Lanipao happy as they influenced the newly elected Mayor to transfer the seat of governance to their place. As they successfully influence him, he then took the municipal billboard to Lanipao which eventually caused anger among the residents of Lala who went to Lanipao and forcibly got the bill board bact to Lala. The conflict ended up until such time that the seat of government was transferred to Lanipao. Lala then turned to a simple quite barrio.
