History

The Barangay Nangka is situated at the northernmost portion of the city of Marikina along the concrete highway leading to the towns of San Mateo and Montalban (Rizal). It is six (6) kilometers away from the city proper and used to be the most rural of the 14 barangays of this city. It was established with the settlement of two (2) families. The place has been known as Nangka from the very beginning due to the presence of langka (jackfruit) trees that used to grow in abundance along the pass used by both man and his beasts (the carabao) leading to the river. This has become its official name up to the present. However, it is likewise perceive that this name was derived from the rivers name that devides Marikina and San mateo, aptly called Nangka River, but obviously by reason of abundance of langka trees which used to line up the banks of the river.

Nangka officially came into existence as a barrio pursuant to Republic Act No. 2601 (section 2), an Act creating barrios in certain municipalities in the province of Rizal enact by the Philippine Congress, on June 21, 1959 (where upon sitio Nangka was converted into a barrio in the Municipality of Marikina, province of Rizal).

As started, Barangay Nangka is separated from the town of San Mateo by the picturesque "Ilog Nangka" (Nangka River), a setting of many a weekends picnics in the past. Likewise in the past, the soil that has had, prided itself with a year-round beautiful harvests of various vegetables

root crops which were much more than what the local people need normally that most of them often found their ways to the market. Aside from these, a significant portion of the Barangay used to be planted to rice.

Historical, sometime on August 30, 1896, a fierce battle between the katipuneros led by National Hero Gat Andres Bonifacio, and the Spaniards took place on the spot believed to be the present site of the Nangka Bridge. This fact is recorded on page 198 of the Philippine History Book authored by Emilio A. Agoncillo. As likewise reflected in the said book, Gat Andres Bonifacio almost lost his shirt while protecting his friend, Emilio Aguinaldo. Before world war II, the place was part of Bayanbayanan (Now Concepcion). Thick cogon needs covered the place at the time. Included in its territorial jurisdiction are the sitios of Balubad and Daang Bakal, the abandoned railroad tracks. In 1913, a single lane bridge was built across Nangka River but there is no record today to show who of its inhabitants labored in its construction. When the Rural Progress Administration subdivided the place into lots, people from Parang and other adjoining sitios transferred to Nangka.

A great change came to the social and economic set-up of Nangka when it was chosen by the Philippine Rural Resurection Movement (PPRM) as a pilot project, working on the principle that the nation can be built and strengthened from the bottom to the top. And the campaign against poverty, illiteracy and civic inertia became a challenge to the residents of Nangka.

Barangay Nangka has progressed steadily with the construction of roads and other transportation and communications facilities. The new subdivisions with concrete roads and drainage is an attraction for a comfortable living. With the coming of the new settlers, new business establishments have sprouted in the locality.

Barangay Nangka has a total land area of 181.68 hectares. As of year 2004, the estimated population of Nangka is about 40,000 and a household of about 7,000 including the New Balubad Resettlement Site and the Camacho Compound. Most of the relocates came from the adjacent barangays of Marikina, as a result of the implementation of the program initiated by the then Mayor, now MMDA Chairman, Bayani F. Fernando, to make Marikina a squatter-free city.
