History
During the World War II, Manggatal is also the base where the Kinabalu Guerillas led by a Sarawak-born Chinese, Albert Kwok actively operating to fight the Japanese. During the late 1990s, many native Dusuns were made instant millionaires when their Native Title (NT) lands were claimed by the government to be made into highways; the Tuaran Bypass Highway and the old Jalan Tuaran Lama Highway that links Manggatal and Inanam to Tuaran district. In the present day, many landowners in Manggatal, which are mainly native Dusuns, have also been forced to relocate from their ancestral lands due to the Pan Borneo Highway. They are reimbursed in the form of cash funded by the Federal Government.
