Sumilao is a 4th class municipality in the province of Bukidnon, Philippines. According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 17,958 people in 3,268 households.

Although Sumilao was one of the early missionary centers of Bukidnon, its economic and political growth was quite slow. This could be attested by the fact that by 1917, four municipal districts of the province were organized into regular municipalities. These municipalities have bigger populations and their leaders were politically prepared to administer the affairs of their respective municipalities. Population conducted during the period of 1918-1948 showed that Sumilao has the lowest number of inhabitants compared to the other municipal districts. It has only one barangay in the 1900s (Barangay Puntian).

Sumilao became a regular municipality in July 1, 1956 pursuant to Executive Order No. 22 signed by the President of the Philippines. The following were the elected and appointed officials of the municipality from its establishment up to the present.

Sumilao is politically subdivided into ten (10) barangays, six of which are traversed by the Kulaman River that separate them from the other four barangays. Unlike any other municipalities, the seat of government in Sumilao is located at barangay Kisolon, Barangay Poblacion serves as satellite barangay for other rural barangays.The ten barangays are :

• Kisolon
• Culasi
• Licoan
• Lupiagan
