Maninila, a coastal barangay, was established in 1902. It is 3.5 kilometers from the poblacion along the national highway.
According to the elders of the place, Maninila got its name from "mani" meaning peanuts and a kind of fish called "mani-mani" which is plenty in the area at the time. Story narrates that one day when the residents are harvesting these peanuts and travelers came to taste the peanuts. The travelers stopped and ate with them and said "masarap pala ang mani nila. "So the tagalogs who came from Manila gave the barangay its name. From then on it is called Maninila.
The two long time heads of this place were Pedro Florencondia and Bernardo Namud. Monico Nique headed the barrio before, during and after World War II. Then he served again in 1952-1955. Others who headed the place were Antero Mombay (1948), Anastacio Failaman (1949 and 1960-1965), Paulino Nanagad (1950-1951) and Alfredo Netura (1956-1959 and 1964-1971).
