INTRODUCTION

The history of Caraga can be traced back to the 15th

century when explorers discovered the existence of Kalagans,

believed to be of Visayan Origin in one of the three districts in

Mindanao. The word Caraga originated from the Visayan word

Kalagan:Kalagmeaning soul or people and Anmeaning land.

The Kalaganshave a long history of being brave and fearless.

Thus, the region was called by early chroniclers as the Landofthe Brave and Fierce People.

The Kalagans,called Caragansby the Spaniards

occupied the district composed of the two provinces of Surigao,

northern part of Davao Oriental and Eastern Misamis Oriental.

The two Agusan Provinces were later organized under the

administrative jurisdiction of Surigao and became the

independent Agusan province in 1914. In 1960, Surigao was

divided as Norte and Sur, and in June 1967, Agusan followedsuit. While Butuan then was just a town of Agusan, the logging

boom in 1950sdrew business and businessmen to the area. On

August 2, 1950, by virtue of Republic Act 523, the City Charter

of Butuan was approved.
