History
The area around the Migkayagan River (today known as Tagoloan River) is considered as a sacred place for the indigenous peoples' community because it was the birthplace of tribal laws and customs. It was mostly settled by the Higaunen (Higaonon) people, who called the area Sumpong. In the mid-19th century, the Spanish integrated the community under the pueblo of Oroquita del Interior, as a sitio of Malaybalay. At the start of the 20th century, then Governor Manolo Fortich, upon orders of the American colonial administration, relocated the community near Malaybalay. The people submitted to the directive, but they still called their new village Sumpong. It was organized into a barrio, with Datu Mandupila (Juan Luminton) as its first teniente del barrio. It was formally organized as a barangay in 1961.
