History
In 1914, Governor General Charles Yeater declared Pantukan as a municipal district. Sangui, a Mansaka, was appointed president. A year after, he was replaced by Bancas Mansaka. On November 13, 1936, President Manuel L. Quezon declared it a regular municipality of the then-undivided province of Davao, therefore becoming the oldest town in Davao de Oro. Teodoro Fuentes was appointed its first Alkalde. Juan Caballero Sr. was its first elected Mayor. It later became part of Davao del Norte upon the division of Davao on May 8, 1967, and Compostela Valley (now Davao de Oro) beginning in 1998.
Geography
