Long before the creation of Davao into a City, somewhere in its west, a certain place was occupied purely by natives know as Bagobo. A community blessed by Nature. Until the late 1960, various spacies of birds, including wild doves, locally known as “bawod” and giant bat, known as “Kabog,” traversed every day from Talomo river, whose banks is a virgin forest, to Kolong,(banks of Cogan creek), also a virgin forest, passing in the midst of this beautiful and peaceful community of the Bagobos. | |||
One of their respected Chieftain is Datu Baguio, who owned and dwelt in a vast flat track of fertile land very much suited to agricultural farming. It is bounded to the North with the crystal clear Cogan Creek; to the South with the roaring Talomo river; to the west, with the land of another Bagobo Datu, his friend, Datu Ano, (whose big portion of land is part of Baguio Poblacion); and to the East, with what is now Barangay Malagos. | |||
The richness of the soil and the beautiful climate attracted foreigners and other Filipino tribes to come to this place.In the early nineteen thirties, the land of Datu Baguio, together with those of other Datus, was leased by the Japanese, and they planted it with Abaca. And as time goes by, in search for a greener pasture, immigrant, predominantly from Visayas, such as; Bohol, Cebu and Iloilo trickled down to this beautiful and bountiful land. | |||
Datu Baguio was not only respected, but also very popular among the various Datu who settled in this part of the city. So, when a Commonwealth Act was passed in October 30, l934, the community was created into a barrio, and named BARRIO BAGUIO, now BARANGAY BAGUIO. | |||
