Solano, which was then called “Lumabang” was organized in the year 1767 by a missionary called Fr. Alejandro Vidal and became a barrio of Bayombong in the year 1850.  The place was then dense forested area, which was occupied by wild Ifugaos tribe headed by King Aggoc.  It was even called “THE PLACE OF DEATH’ because of numerous Ilocanos beheaded by this tribe. 

A certain Pedro Castillo, an Ilocano, was the first Christian to set forth in this place.  In 1853 migrants from Ilocos Norte, lured by Diego Lumicao, which was includes the families of Aggasid, Bueno, Mina, Padre, Monisalvas, Acosta and others came to settle in this place. 

In 1863, a bloody battle between the Ifugao tribe and the Ilocanos. Through the assistance given by Governor Torcuato Maddela, an Ilocano.  King Aggoc was killed and the remains of his tribe were thrown out of the place.  Since then, became a barrio with Tucal and Lactawan as its Sitios. 

Sometime in 1900, during the American Period in the Philippines, a U. S. Cavalry on patrol dropped by and came upon a couple cooking rice.  The rice being cooked by the couple smell like that of old stock rice and when the Americans asked about the smell – the couple answered – “na agob ngamin ti bagas Apo” which means that the rice being cooked was an old stock and has certain smell in it.  The American repeated the word “AGOB” and since then the barrio was Christened AGGUB, which also symbolized most of the families who came to settle in this barrio:  Agg for Aggasid, U for Urbano and B for Bueno.

Since then, Aggub had been a Barrio of the town of Solano, Nueva Vizcaya.
