The barangay of Consolacion is one of the forty-five (45) barangays in the municipality of Sogod, province of Southern Leyte, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 1,246 inhabitants.

Originally, barangay Consolacion used to be part of barrio Maac. The hamlet gained prominence when the Augustinian friars administered a school for boys and girls in the site from 1774 to 1785. It became a farming estate when the Javier and the Veloso clans cultivated the western lands of Maac in the 1880s. On account of the productivity of the area, the settlement became “Consolacion, which was a sentiment nearer to the Cebuano terms, “makapahuway” and “makalipay”. The settlement was also called as such because the produce of the land brought relief and gratitude to the people farming the area. By 1883, Maak was divided into two (2) subdistricts as a result of the Velosos' influence on the area and migrations from Cebu, Bohol and Surigao.

Aside from the Javiers and the Velosos, families of Spanish descent like the Decenteceos and Mercados also came to the sitio and acquired farmlands from its residents. This resulted to a gradual exodus of the original settlers from Consolacion to the uplands, where they continued farming coconuts, abaca, corn and rice. The new settlements would later be recognized as villages in the 1940s. By 1891, Maak was placed under the jurisdiction of Consolacion after the latter was elevated into a barrio.

During the 1900 Philippine-American War, the Americans garrisoned Consolacion due to its participation in guerilla activities. Since Consolacion was a midway between Sogod and Libagon, it was dictated by the municipal council, under the administration of Don Ladislao Decenteceo (1904-1905) to move the seat of government there in 1904. The poblacion remained in Consolacion until 1912 when the seat of government, under the tenure of Don Vicente Cariño (1912-1916), was returned to Sogod.

Again, by the mid-1920s, Estanislao Flores (1923-1925), the municipal mayor of Sogod, held his office in Consolacion for a short time. It was created an ecclesiastical district, under the patronage of the Holy Child Jesus, in January 25, 1967 by Bishop Teotimo Pacis, diocese of Palo. Presently, the barangay is subdivided into six (6) puroks: Acacia, Bougainvilla, Calachuchi, Flordeliz, Mangingisda and Orchids.
