According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 39,456 people.[3]. Alicia is the gateway to Olutanga Island via Guicam Port in Brgy. Guicam where the Guicam Bridge will soon rise.
By virtue of Executive Order No. 468 signed by President Elpidio Quirino on August 22, 1951, the municipality of Alicia (originally proposed as Naga-Naga) was organized, separated from Margosatubig in the old Zamboanga province. The municipality contains ten barrios with Naga-Naga the seat of the government.[5]
Three barangays were detached from Alicia, and along with parts of Malangas and Siay, were constituted into the new municipality of Imelda in 1977.[6]
Alicia is politically subdivided into 27 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks while some have sitios.
