History
Before the Spanish and American invasions, the majority of the people living in Linamon were Bisaya.
Under the National Land Settlement Administration (NLSA) of the Commonwealth Government, there was a Philippine House of Representatives proposal to utilize some of the land in Mindanao to help the Philippine Government. The settlers that were sent for this project were composed of people from the Islands of Visayas and Island Luzon. The first settlers were sent to the following areas:
In Lanao del Norte, the transport of settlers was successful due to the smooth negotiations with the Maranao tribal leaders and land lords. As a sign of welcoming, the land lords donated some of their land to the settlers. Resulting intermarriages between settlers and tribes led to the majority of those living in Lanao del Norte and Misamis Occidental having blood in the Maranao tribe.
When martial law was implemented, the settlement experienced conflict between Muslims and non-Muslims.
