Bayugan
Located at the northern part of Agusan del Sur, Bayugan is the "cut-flower capital" of the province owing to its lucrative cut flower industry.It was also believed that the natives used to make this place their meeting spot and that the means of gathering the inhabitants was by knocking on a hollow piece of wood which they termed as the bayug.However, part of the National Highway (now the Narra Avenue) passed through the sitio of Bayugan instead of Barangay Maygatasan.Migrants started settling in the sitio of Bayugan, thus, prompting the transfer of the proposed town site.In the early part of 1960, the inhabitants led by Mr. Jose Joson passed a resolution creating the sitio of Bayugan into a regular barrio.Brought about by the construction of the National Highway which traversed the place, business activity sprouted rapidly in the area.Mr. Mullaneda, the first appointed Municipal Mayor of Bayugan assumed into office on August 6, 1962, during the term of President Diosdado Macapagal.More than a year later, on December 22, 2009, acting favorably on the appeal of the sixteen affected cities, the Supreme Court reversed its earlier ruling.It deemed that the passage of the amendatory law regarding the criteria for cityhood as set by congress specifically exempting a particular political subdivision therefrom was constitutional.The climate map of the Philippines based on the modified coronas classification shows that the city falls under Type II.[8] Indigenous people: Poverty incidence of Bayugan Source: Philippine Statistics Authority[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Fertile soil suitable for agricultural, Protection Forest About 26,107.163 Hectares = 51.697% in land classifications.Elected city officials 2019–present: Executive: Legislative: Association of Baragay Councils (Liga ng mga Barangay): The Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company provides fixed line services.
