History
The name "Ganassi" came from one of the Nine Princess of Unayan (e.g. in Meranau term Imoda sa ganassi Ayour so Linindingan, Andong so Macadar, etc.).
Before American colonization, Ganassi was formerly a part of the State of Unayan, Confederate States of Lanao based from ancient boundaries.
On the evening of November 11, 1963, a day before the election, police chief Empi Marohon was killed by an assailant while a laborer was injured. Representative Rashid Lucman proposed postponing the election in Ganassi due to Marohon's murder, but his request was denied by COMELEC chairman Juan V. Borra.
