History
Under Spanish rule, Barangay Casisang was part of the Barangay Población of Malaybalay. Leaders of Malaybalay extend services to Casisang like in the person of Mr. Esteban Tilanducâ who was delegated as capitán of Malaybalay. He was the mediator between the people and the government. People turn to him for their financial and economic problems. He owned a vast land in the barangay and hired people to work in his farm. Tilanducâ was considered as one of the original settlers of Barangay Casisang. Despite the organization of the community, the natives nonetheless preferred to stay in the forest in fear or dissatisfaction toward Spanish administration. Only when the Americans came, the people eventually learned to settle in the plains. They began to organize communities under a Datù designated as tribal leader. Schools were established which contributed to the economic growth of the community and the life of the people.
Barangay Casisang was separated from Poblacion, Malaybalay and became a regular barangay in February 7, 1961, under Resolution # 14-Series of 1961.
