The Tagbanua settlers who first inhabited this place named it after the local term for crab (“alimango”) because of the abundance of the crustacean in the mangroves. Formerly a sitio of Taytay, it became a barangay after World War II. Alimanguan was one of the barangays ceded to San Vicente when the latter became a municipality in 1972. Fishing and farming are the main sources of livelihood. Rice is planted both in paddies and the uplands. Other sources of income are small-scale trading of marine and agricultural products, wage labor, and sari-sari stores. Many families also raise poultry and livestock. Since the provincial road passes through the barangay, Alimanguan is easily accessible both by land and sea.
