History
Kauswagan was organized into a municipality through President Manuel Roxas's Executive Order No. 126, s. 1948 which separated the barrio of Kauswagan and the sitios of Linamon, Magoong, Purakan, Rebukon, Samburun, Lapayan, Takub and Kawit from the then municipality of Iligan.
Kauswagan was one of the municipalities that suffered in Lanao del Norte during the martial law and Ilaga war against the Moro.
In March 2000, then-President Joseph Estrada declared all-out-war against MILF when it was led by Abdullah Macapaar "Commander Bravo" bin Sabbar fought the Philippine Army.
