Tagoloan was among the five visitas established by the Recollect missionaries in Cagaiang (Cagayan de Oro's former name) in 1674.[5] Through Act No. 951, issued by the Philippine Commission on October 21, 1903, which reduced the number of municipalities in the then-undivided Misamis from 24 to 10, the territories of Santa Ana and Agusan, excluding Barrio Gusa which became part of Cagayan, joined with Tagoloan.[6] When Cagayan was converted into a city, renamed Cagayan de Oro, in 1950, barrios Agusan, Alae, and Bogo were transferred from this municipality.[7]

World War II

Imperial Japanese forces of the Kawamura Detachment from Panay began landing on Cagayan de Misamis and Tagoloan on 3 May 1942. The town was liberated on 10 May 1945 after the Allied forces land on Cagayan de Misamis.[citation needed]

Ethnicities and languages

[edit]

Like the rest of Misamis Oriental, Higaonons are among Tagoloan's native ethnolinguistic inhabitants. The majority of the municipality's residents, however, speak Cebuano as its main language, brought by Visayan settlers from Cebu, Bohol, Siquijor and Negros Oriental. Being bordered by Cagayan de Oro from its west, Tagoloan has becoming urbanized due to the massive influx of migrants from Luzon and other parts of Visayas, with many of whom had already settled in Cagayan de Oro had soon found its new home in the municipality since postwar or early 1950's, making Higaonons a minority in their own homeland but resulting from local population growth and the expansion of nearby Cagayan de Oro. These newcomers consisted of Bicolanos, Hiligaynons, Ilocanos, Kapampangans and Tagalogs seeking new and better life and various economic opportunities in Tagoloan had assimilated to and intermarried with the local population, both native Higaonons and earlier Visayan settlers alike. Alongside Cebuano, Tagalog and English are also spoken and used in business and government affairs. Other languages spoken varyingly include the indigenous Higaonon, as well as Bicolano, Hiligaynon, Ilocano and Kapampangan.

Economy

[edit]

Crops

[edit]

Agriculture plays a major role in Tagoloan's economy especially towards supporting agri-industrialization. But because of its industrialization and urbanization, Tagoloan's agriculture land areas have been permanently diminished.

During the last five years, a sizeable agricultural area was virtually unproductive due to encroachment of industries in prime tillable land.

The major agricultural crops in the area are corn, coconut, mango, peanut, rice, banana, and papaya.

Poultry and livestock

[edit]

Poultry production, particularly chicken, increased from 70,000 birds in 1995 to 136,542 in 1999, and continuously rose to 226,452 birds in 2002 to 374,000 birds in 2003. The increase in poultry production was mainly due to the advent of broiler contract growing in the area. Multinational companies led by Swift, San Miguel Corporation, and Vitarich contributed to the growth of poultry production.

The cattle population of Tagoloan has decreased from 2,356 heads in 2002 to 1,102 heads in 2003. Carabao, swine, and goat-sheep populations decreased in production due to lack of interest in raising them and the high cost of investment.

Fishery

[edit]

There are three fishing grounds in Tagoloan, Barangays Baluarte, Sugbongcogon, and Casinglot Macajalar Bay. Volume of catch from Baluarte – Macajalar Bay amounted to 4,500 kilograms (9,900 lb) per month. In Casinglot – Macajalar Bay, the volume of fishes summed to per month and Sugbongcogon – Macajalar Bay to 90 kilograms (200 lb) per month with an estimated total volume of catch of about 80,460 kilograms (177,380 lb) per month in 2003.
