Historically, wood from the forest of Ususan and areas now part of Fort Bonifacio were transported along the riverbanks, earning it the moniker "Us-usan ng Kahoy" or "slide."

[2] Ususan is one of the original villages or barrios of Taguig when it was established as a pueblo (town) under the Provincia de Tondo in 1587.

[3] During the Spanish government reign in Taguig, men from this barrio were forced to be part of the Polo y Servico.

Ususan is made up of four areas, namely: Subaan, Ibaba or Lungos, Kabilang Banda (Ibayo) and Pampangin.

[6] Ususan is bounded on the north by Pembo and Rizal mostly through the Pateros River and Pinagsama Creek, northeast by Martires Del '96 and San Roque in Pateros and Palingon Tipas in Taguig, on the east by Calzada, to the southeast by Tuktukan through the Taguig River, to the south by Bambang through the Sapang Ususan Creek, and on the west by Pinagsama through the Circumferential Road 5.
