The word Tuktukan was coined by the Spanish as "Toctocan", which means an object to tap or to hit. When the Friar arrived at the placet, they saw a long queue of women doing their laundry by hitting it with a plank of wood or rock.
Based on the census 1980, Tuktukan had a population of 5,777. The total land area of the barangay is 31 hectares (77 acres).[3]
Taguig seat of government was transferred to Tuktukan from Santa Ana on August 01, 1958 after President Carlos P. Garcia signed Executive Order number 311, s. 1958.[4]
Tuktukan is bounded on the north by Ususan, to the east by Calzada Tipas, to the south by Santa Ana, and on the west by the Taguig River.
