History

[edit]

The town of Tubay is named after its legendary founder Datu Tabay, and lays claim to being the second Spanish Settlement in Agusan and was known as apuebloas early as 1751. Formerly, the people settled in the wilderness of Ilihan, then transferred to sitio Malabog and later to Tubay-Tubay and Sabang near the mouth of theJabonga River.However, the danger of constant inundation andMoroattacks convinced the succeeding leader of the place to move thepuebloto Daang Lungsod where the massivemagkunopost of once spacious and strongly built church now stand. It was here where the settlement firmly took place.

Since 1898, Tubay was a prosperous town. But when the Americans visited Tubay and Cabadbaran, they were convinced that the latter was the better place for the seat of government. Therefore, in 1903, Tubay was reduced to abarrioto give way to its equally thriving neighbor, Cabadbaran. Although reduced to abarriostatus, it still remained the center of commercial activity due to the presence of Chinese merchants. Booming business in Tubay was still noticeable until the fabulous 20's when the navigable Jabonga River was the chief artery of its copra and hemp traffic. However, when the road connecting Tubay-Santiago and Cabadbaran was finished, business in Tubay began to decline and trade through the Jabonga River disappeared.

On June 22, 1947, Tubay officially became a municipality when theCongress of the PhilippinesenactedRepublic ActNo. 188which separated thebarrios of Tubay, La Fraternidad, Tinigbasan, Cabayawa, Victory, Santa Ana, and Tagmamarcay, all from Cabadbaran, and constituted into the newly created town.[5]By virtue of said law, PresidentManuel Roxasissued PresidentialProclamation No. 44on October 20, 1947, thus making Tubay regain its township status.[6][7]
