History
Jabonga traces its origin to a village formerly occupied by Negritoes and a few Christian immigrants led by a Manobo Negrito meztizo Angelecio Montante, also called Agaras. The village became known as Celopan, a name derived from the bamboos growing along the bank of the river that were made into smoking pipes.
Sometime during the mid-nineteenth century, the increasing number of inhabitants who were joined by Christian immigrants from other places transferred to a new settlement in the present site of Colorado[clarification needed]. By this time, The Spanish government was already sending missionaries to all parts of the island and the group that went up the Kalinawan River reached the settlement of Colorado, a name derived from the word Colorado meaning colored, because of the white spotted arms of Domingo Mondoy, the brave settler who dared to face the newcomers. Proceeding upstream, the missionaries reached Celopan and seeing a native inside a hut, the floor of which was just one meter above the water, they asked him what the place was called. Thinking that the Spaniards were referring to the hut, he answered Habongan. Thus, Celopan was renamed Habongan which later became Jabonga.
