According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 32,208 people. The municipality was named after the Mallig River that runs through it.
In 1939, then President Manuel L. Quezon declared the westernmost part of the province as a resettlement area, historically known as the Mallig Plains Resettlement Area. From then on, the influx of settlers from the Central Plains and the Ilocos Region encouraged more other settlers to migrate westward in these Kalinga-dominated plains.
Mallig was created by virtue of Republic Act No. 678 authored in 1952 by then Congressman Samuel F. Reyes. The act was approved on April 8, 1952, with the former barrio of Olango as the seat of government. The territory comprising Mallig was taken from several neighboring towns:
Mallig was a harsh abode for the migrants at the beginning, particularly because of the hostile natives who dominated the area, and also because of the occurrence of endemic malaria. It took the settlers gradual adaptation and acclimatization before they finally convinced their relatives and other migrants to settle permanently.
Its main gateway is the Santiago–Tuguegarao Road which is a part of the national highway. The Ilagan–Delfin Albano–Mallig Road, a provincial road, also serves as an important point of entry to Mallig. It is also an agricultural town mainly composed of agricultural farms such as rice fields and corn fields which makes its rural landscape.
Mallig is situated from the provincial capital Ilagan, and from the country's capital city of Manila.
The Municipality of Mallig is governed by a mayor, designated as its Local Chief Executive, and by a municipal council as its legislative body in accordance with the Local Government Code. The mayor, vice mayor, and the municipal councilors are elected directly by the people in elections held every three years.
Barangays are also headed by elected officials: Barangay Captain, Barangay Council, whose members are called Barangay Kagawad. The barangays have SK federation which represents the barangay, headed by SK chairperson and whose members are called SK councilors. All officials are also elected every three years.
