Silae is mainly an agricultural village with corn as its principal crop. It serves as the entry point to the Upper Pulangi District from both Can-ayan and Cabanglasan.^[1]

It was one of the oldest barrios in Bukidnon, being part of the town of Sevilla in the province of Misamis under the Spanish Empire, with its seat at Linabo.^[2] In 1907, the American colonial government reorganized the country and established the Municipality of Malaybalay, dissolving the town of Sevilla.^[3][4][5] This saw a transfer of administrative seat from Linabo to Oroquieta (now Poblacion, Malaybalay).
