History
Hundreds of years ago, pygmies settled in the northeastern forest of Bohol. Beneath the forest, three caves can be found. Skulls, jars, beds, plates, and other early tools were once excavated from these caves. One of the unearthed bodies had a name of Okag, written on stone in Baybayin script. Larger portions of these caves are still inaccessible.[4] This is how Ilihan got its name: it means an inaccessible geological feature.[5]
Formerly Ilihan was a sitio of barangay San Pascual. It became a separate barrio in 1910.

There are seven puroks overseen by the elected kagawads.
