HISTORY

Settlements within Dinagat Islands were already present during theSpanish regime. Most of the residents emigrated from nearby provincesof Bohol and Leyte.

The municipality of Dinagat is the oldest community in the province. Inthe early days, a story was told that a stranger reached the place in

search of greener pasture. He approached a native and asked what theinhabitants do for a living. The native said that they farm and fish to live.The strangers interest in fishing prompted him to inquire where theyfish, and the native replied and pointed to a place saying dinhi niini nadagat (here in this bountiful waters). Since then, the place was calledDinagat.

The province was the site of the Historic Battle of Surigao Strait duringthe Second World War. The Municipality of Loreto became the entrypoint of the American Liberation Forces on October 17, 1944. It was on

this shore that the 6th Ranger Batallion of the 6th U.S. Army under Col.Mucci landed at Sitio Campintac of Barangay Panamaon, Loreto. It was
