History
Tumauini was officially established as a Spanish mission in 1704, with civil administration frequently shifting between the neighboring towns of Cabagan and Ilagan. It became a town in its own right on 10 May 1751.
In 1952, the barrios of Barucbuc, Siempre Viva, Bimmonton, Pasurgong, Manga, and Settlement No. 1 were transferred to the newly created town of Mallig.
In 1957, the barrios of San Antonio, San Juan, Ragan Sur, Ragan Norte, Ragan Almacen, San Jose (Bulo), San Patricio, Quibal, San Andres (Lattu), Calinawan Sur, Bayabo, Santor, Santo Rosario, Andarayan, Aneg, San Isidro, Mawi, San Roque, Carmencita, Aga, Villa Pareda, Villaluz, San Pedro, Concepcion, Sammabario and San Nicolas and the sitios of Turod, Paco, Calamagui and Kim-malabasa, were separated from the municipality of Tumauini to form the town of Magsaysay.
Notably, Camp Samal used to be a guerrilla camp during World War II, and SAMAL derives from SA, meaning Sadornas, and MAL from Malana.
