From 1573, Tanay was originally part of neighboring Pililla, it was founded as a separate town or pueblo in 1606 under the name "Monte de Tan-ay" now "Inalsan".

In 1620, the town moved to "San Antonio" now called Pantay, but the people moved to its current location and founded the town in 1640 after the old site was burned in 1638 during the Chinese Uprising.

In 1747, Tanay was consisted of Eight (8) Balangay's before becoming a Municipality in 1894 as an effect of the Spanish Maura Law. First election of Public Office took place in 1895-1898 and 1898-1900.

In 1900-1901, Tanay was under the Government appointed by the American Military.

For a brief period between 1899 and 1900, Tanay served as the capital of the then Morong province.

In 1942-1945, The Mountains of Tanay served as the Guerilla base for 'Marking's Guerilla's a very decorated guerilla army against the Japanese occupation forces during World War II. Gen. Marking is buried by the road beside his son's farm going to Brgy. Daraitan.

In October 2003, deposed Philippine president Joseph Estrada was transferred to a rest home in Sampaloc, a mountain barangay in Tanay. He remains under house arrest.
