History
Lugait was originally one of the barrios of Initao, Misamis Oriental until 1948. When Manticao was established as an independent municipality separate from Initao, Lugait became its largest barrio, having the highest population and making a significant contribution to the municipality’s revenue.
On March 16, 1961, Lugait achieved municipal independence from its mother municipality when then-President Carlos P. Garcia signed and issued Executive Order No. 425, officially creating the Municipality of Lugait in the province of Misamis Oriental.
From the beginning of its establishment, Lugait embraced industrial development and took advantage of the economic opportunities available during that period. The municipality soon gained recognition for its thriving cement and galvanized iron roofing industries, with these products becoming widely known and contributing greatly to Lugait’s growth and identity as an industrial community.
