History
Tacurong was originally a barangay of the Municipality of Buluan. On August 3, 1951, it was created into a municipality by Executive Order Number 462 signed by the President Elpidio Quirino. At that time Tacurong covered an estimated area of 40,000 hectares and consisted of 14 barangays. In 1961, its southern portion was separated to form the Tantangan, and in 1973, some of its eastern areas were ceded with the creation of President Quirino.
