The name Lapakan was given by the Spaniards to this barangay. It is told that a group of Spanish colonizers asked a group of natives/locals regarding the sounds coming from burning "bagacays" (a variety of bamboo). Lapakan may have been derived from the word "lagapakan" which means resembling the sound of firecrackers in Zamboangueño dialect. From this, the Spaniards noted down the place's name as Lapakan.

Lapakan is an old place whose beginnings as a settlement may be traced back to world war period when it has attracted Japanese soldiers who went into hiding because of the forested area and varied number of caves. The large majority of the population (about 95%) are Zamboangueños and the predominant dialect being spoken is Chavacano.
