The act stated that the municipality of Baroy would be separated from Tubod, and that parts of Kolambugan would be annexed to the two towns.
On January 13, 1960, the town of Salvador was separated from the town through Executive Order No. 370.
Baroy celebrates Lechon Festival every 10th day of June.
