Laguindingan
Laguindingan used to be called "Daligdigan" coined from the words "daligdig", meaning trickling water from Soloan Creek, and "digan", a buri plant, which was used by the early settlers as roofing and walling materials.The presence of an old Spanish port "Moog" at Punta Sulawan manifest the claim that before the settlers came to Laguindingan, the place was the hideout of robbers, pirates and bandoleros because of the once thick forest cover of the municipality.A number of Cagayan de Oro civilians and government officials hide in Laguindingan during the second world war.The barangays that joined the move for township was known as the Sulawan Block namely: Kibaghot, Sinai, Mauswagon, Moog, Gasi, Aromahon, Tubajon, Sambulawan, Lapad and Liberty.Visayans form a majority in Laguindingan, whose ancestors came from Cebu, Bohol, Siquijor as well as Negros, Panay and Leyte who migrated to the area long before the Spaniards arrived, while the indigenous Higaonons and Binukid dwell in the municipality's remote interior.The Mindanao silk which is woven by members of Ayala Beneficiaries Association Inc., based in Laguindingan affected by the construction of the airport.Neighboring towns Alubijid and Libertad had benefited from this trading as well as Cagayan de Oro, where here the lechon entrepreneurs get those young pork here.Today another flourishing industry for beach tourism being developed is also the scuba diving where the rich exotic sea creatures are found in the coastal barangay Tubajon.Each barangays or barrios has its own feast locally known as Fiesta literally as festivals honoring their patron saints after achieving recognition in their own rights.
