From 1598 to 1800s it was part of a bigger district called Caraga which was formerly known as "Koronadal" by Spanish colonizers. The name "Caraga" comes from two words: "Cara-ag" which means river of gold due to its abundant gold deposits found during that time period; while "Ga" refers to an old ethnic group living near these deposits.
