As with much of the rural area of Davao del Sur, the predominant economic activity is based on rice farming.

History

The whole area under jurisdiction of the municipality of Magsaysay were all once part of Bansalan. It was populated firstly by Bagobos and Manobos until settlers from the Visayas came to the area and eventually became the dominant ethnicity of the area. The most populous village in the area was Kialeg, now the town center, which was renamed Magsaysay in 1959 in honor of the late president Ramon Magsaysay. [5]

The municipality of Magsaysay was created from 18 barangays of Bansalan on June 17, 1967 signed by President Ferdinand Marcos. [6] Barangay Magsaysay, formerly and still colloquially known in the present as Kialeg, became the town center of the newly created municipality and was thus was officially renamed Barangay Poblacion.

A magnitude 6.3 earthquake struck at Magsaysay on February 7, 2021, resulting in some damage to property to the nearby towns and cities. [7]
