Before the creation of "Barangay Anilao East", this barangay was then a sitio of Anilao Proper called Pook Taal-Taalan to the north and Pook Gulod to the south. Pook Gulod to the south. Pook Taal-Taalan was called as such because this parcel of land was owned by a well-to-do family from Taal. Pook Gulod which is the other sitio of the newly created barangay was called by such name because it is located on a hilly place over looking the beautiful sunset in Anilao Bay.

The fast increasing number of its inhabitants made the people of this region decide for themselves to separate from its mother barrio of Anilao and create a new barangay under Republic Act 3590 otherwise known as the Revised Barrio Charter.

Throught the untiring and unselfish efforts and leadership of some prominent men & women of those two sitios witheparticular reference to Mr. Melecio Panganiban, Atty. Artemio Reyes, Atty. Roberto Panganiban, Mr. David Ilagan, Mr. Jorge Magmanlac, Mr. Pedro Dolor, Mr. Bruno Sandoval, Mr. Remegio Brucal and other citizens of these two sitios, they prepared and submitted to proper authorities a resolution duly signed by no less thanfive hundred (500) inhabitants of the place claiming independence to the mother barangay.

Thus a new barangay was born with jurisdical personality of its own known and commonly called by its registered name "Barangay Anilao East".

Barangay Anilao East is bounded on the east by Barangay Pulong Niogan, on the north by Barangay Orense and Magalang-galang, Bauan, on the west by Barangay Anilao Proper and on the south by Barangay Majuben and Barangay Sta. Ana.

This barangay has a land area of approximately 150 hectares or 1,500,000 square meters, and a population of around 750 at present.
