It was established in 1972 as a barangay under Makati, and its de facto territory consists of multiple exclaves mostly within Palar Village of Barangay Pinagsama and settlements along the Consular Road area between McKinley West of the Bonifacio Capital District and Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Barangay Fort Bonifacio, Taguig.

As per Makati, its claimed territory consists of the southern tip of Bonifacio Global City and the Manila American Cemetery. The area is largely under the de facto administration of neighboring city of Taguig, which claims the Fort Bonifacio area as its own territory.
In April 2023, the disputed barangays outside the BGC were placed under the de jure jurisdiction of Taguig. In October 2023, the Department of the Interior and Local Government issued a memorandum to order the transfer of the Embo barangays to Taguig.
