Bagong Silangan share its history with San Mateo, Municipality of Rizal as Bagong Silangan is once part of San Mateo. In fact, notable events such as The Battle of San Mateo took place here. During the early 1960s Bagong Silangan is a rich agricultural field where rice is the main product. During the latter years a drastic conversion brought about by buying of the lands by the government as a relocation site for informal settlers from the downtown, therefore, the establishment of the barangay. The sudden expansion of built-up area of the Metro led the informal sectors flock the area as a site of downtown substitute thus, the barangay became infamous as squatters' area.

People and Culture

Bagong Silangan is a growing barangay in Quezon City composed of people who came from different parts of the country. Tagalog is the prime language being spoken. Also numerous in the area are minority of Ilocano, Bisaya, Kapang-pangan, Panggalatok, and Swardspeak speakers.

The onset of latest information dissemination through internet and cellphone leads to a genesis and later radial variation of cultures creating a special variety of way of life we known as subculture. Bagong Silangan as a part of the agglomerating Manila didn't let herself at the end of this race. Thus, a growing veriety of these subcultures rapidly penetrates almost all areas of Baranggay, which includes jejemons and jejebusters, as well as rip stick skaters, gangsta, and pokpokers.^{[citation needed]}

The barangay is also the home to informal settlers who occupy not only vast tracts of public and private lands but also riverbanks, creeksides, aqueducts and transmission lines.^[5]
