History

The name "Dalwangan" comes from Binukid which means "shed in a valley". [4] The settlement of what is now Dalwangan was known as Sil-ipon, named after a creek less than a kilometer to the north of the village. The village was officially designated as a barrio in 1913 but was only organized by order of Bukidnon governor Manuel Fortich on March 26, 1915. Juanito Casinabe was appointed as its first teniente del barrio. Throughout the 20th century Dalwangan has been progressive as a result of its location along the Sayre Highway and the establishment of the Malaybalay Stock Farm and various government research institutions for agriculture.
