Veruela was considered the oldest town of upper Agusan del Sur. As handed from generations, it was believed that Veruela got its name from the word “virus”. This happened in the later part of 18th century where the whole area was suffering from small pox and cholera when the Spanish missionaries chanced upon the tribe. From then on, thus, the name Veruela existed out of the Spanish word “La Verus”.

Later the [[Manobo]] tribes moved to [[Manning]], better known as [[Linongsuran]] along the enormous Agusan River. However, in 1916 when the great earthquake destroyed the settlement, it erased the Linongsuran from the map of Agusan Province leaving no trace of the settlement. The survivors evacuated and reorganized themselves into another place, now the barangay poblacion of the municipality.
