About Gingoog City
Brief History
Gingoog is a Manobo word for good luck. Life
then was simple where the natives worshipped the anitos and
diwatas. The first known priest that reached Gingoog was Fr.
Felix Garcia, a Jesuit. In 1868 Gingoog became a Spanish pueblo
of the then undivided Mizamis de Mizamis. In 1903, during
the American regime she became a municipality.
Gradually, be sheer hard work and perseverance,
Gingoog edged towards economic progress with its economy largely
based on agriculture. On June 18, 1960, by virtue of RA 2268
authored by Cong. Fausto Dugenio and signed by then Pres.
Carlos P. Garcia, Gingoog became a Chattered City.
