History of Barangay Lamsugod:
Before the advent of settlers from the different parts of the country,
the village was inhabited by an ethnic group called “Tagabili” now popularly
known as “T’boli”.
The place was then a thick forestall with minimal cogonal and talahib
patches and abounds with wildlife. Lamsugod got its name from the Tagabili word
“LEM” meaning “within” and from the Hilonggo word “SUGOD” meaning “beginning” as
the place is a plateau that sprung up within the ambient of the Allah and
Sapali Rivers.
The Barangay Site is a thirty hectares land reserved by the LASEDECO and
surveyed by the Certiza Surveying Office by virtue of Special Work Order (SWO).
Sometime in the year 1950, one
Teotimo Alquino, Sr. was appointed as the first barrio official in the rank of “TENYENTE
DEL BARRIO” by Mayor Jose Improgo, Jr. of Bañga, Cotabato,as the barrio was
once under the political subdivision of Bañga.
Lamsugod is officially
proclaimed as a regular barrio on July 18, 1958, and on the same year a primary
school was set-up under the initiative of the late Venancio Santa Maria, a Teacher.
The progress and development of Lamsugod is attributed to the 28 first batch
settlers who braved the hostility of the climate and hunger, cleared the area
and set-up a new life.
