History

Originally and before the Spanish and later American Invasions, majority of the people living in Kolambugan belonged to the Maranao Tribe. According to folk stories from the old leaders of Kolambugan during the Spanish occupation, some of the leaders from the interior areas of Lanao del Norte usually crossed the beach of the municipality of Kolambugan to the beach of Ozamis City by boat. These leaders did this to catch people living in the other side of the bay and make those people as worker (personal helper). In Maranaw term, these workers/personal helpers were called BISAYA.

There was also a story that one of the families in Kolambugan, the Mutia Families from Zamboanga del Norte and Misamis Occidental, originally came from the Interior area of Lanao del Norte and even at present, this story still exists because according to the tale, the great-great-great grandfather of the great-great grandfather of these Mutia Families once lifted a small book hanging in the center of their house and said to the children it is forbidden to open the book, or even to touch it, and according to the story, when after many years have passed and somebody dared to open the book, they saw unfamiliar writings in the book (Spanish and English languages), and some said that the writings also looked like Arabic letters.

After a long social process, sometime in 1935 – 1944, under the National Land Settlement Administration (NLSA) of the Commonwealth Government, there was a Philippine House of Representative proposal to invade the Island of Mindanao so that some parts of Mindanao can be used to help the Philippine Government. Not everyone was agreeable to this proposal and one of the oppositions during that time was Congressman Datu Salipada Khalid Pendatun. However, said proposal was approved and signed by then President Manuel L. Quezon who was the president of that time. The settlers were composed of people who have knowledge about skilled jobs, Agri Technology, Engineering, and Farming. The settlers came from the islands of Luzon and Visayas and they brought with them skills and expertise.

from the Islands of Visayas and Island Luzon that has knowledge and experience of Agriculture, Technical, Farming, Lumber, Carpenter etc. The first batch transport were landed to the following Areas: • Some parts of Zamboanga • Misamis Occidental • Lanao Del Norte • Misamis Oriental • Some part of Surigao • Some part of Davao • Some Part of Cotabato

In Lanao del Norte, the transport of settlers was peacefully successful due to the smooth negotiations with the Maranao Tribal Leaders and Land Lords. As Welcome sign, the Land lords has donate piece of land (piece of land before are more than 5 hectares) to start the settlers life as beginning of life. In long run and process, the family of settler works to the land owners and as a gift since they are very good workers, the land lord gave the small piece of land as a gift. Some say that, settlers trade they made the business to the land lord just few item exchange of lands. Some family of land lords marry the daughter of their workers which result and until the majority living in Lanao del Norte and Misamis Occidental has blood in Maranao Tribe (Muslim Blood).

Executive Order No. 37, s. 1936, signed on June 4, 1936 prompted the organization of the municipal districts of Kolambugan and Buruun into an independent municipality.

On July 1, 1936, by virtue and power of the Executive Order No. 37, President Manuel L. Quezon declared Kolambugan as one of the Municipalities of Lanao Province. The Lanao province was further divided into Lanao del Norte and Lanao del Sur. Kolambugan is part of Lanao del Norte province.
