Barangay Masambong was formerly found within the boundaries of Banaue St., Hon. Gregorio Roxas (formerly Wayan), Calamba, and G. Araneta Avenue. Masambong was a sitio of San Francisco del Monte, which was still an integral part of Caloocan. After the Japanese occupation. G. Araneta & Tuason developed Sta. Mesa Heights which was within the first district of Quezon City, and the old residents were transferred to the new lots allotted to them on a lot called Sitio Langka. However, they retained the old name Masambong.
Masambong was recognized as a barrio in the 1950’s. During the 1960’s, a small chapel was constructed on Malac St. Factories and other commercial establishments followed, with Masambong Elementary School established in 1965. The premises of the school were transferred to the school in 1969. In the early 1970’s a playground was established near the chapel and the Osmena High School was transferred to the new location. It was also during this time that the Glori Supermart was built, along with other business establishments along del Monte Avenue. In the early 1980’s the present Barangay Hall and Health Center were constructed.
