Formerly a municipal district, Aborlan became a municipality on June 28, 1949 by virtue of Executive Order No. 232.[6][7] In 1951, the municipality lost the barrios of Berong and Alfonso XII when those were transferred to the newly created town of Quezon.[8]
Aborlan is the province's only town with an agricultural college, now called Western Philippines University. It was founded in 1910.[6]
Many stories tell about how the town got its present name:[9]
It lies in a vast plain between the Sulu Sea and the mountains, 68 kilometres (42 mi) south of Puerto Princesa City.
Aborlan is politically subdivided into 19 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.
