Maragusan
[3] The area in what is now Maragusan is a valley that in the past were inhabited solely by native Mansakan people who made their living by engaging in slash-and-burn agricultural practices.They identified themselves as “Man-Agusan” which means those living on the banks of the Agusan River which had its source within the boundaries of the present municipality.The area which is now Maragusan was made part of the municipality of Doña Alicia which was created in May 28, 1953 by virtue of Executive Order No.[6] By the time the town was created with which the area became part of, the valley remained undiscovered by settlers until in 1955 a pilot and a rancher from Lake Leonard discovered it by accident while travelling off-course.But while it grew as an agricultural settlement located in a valley, it had no direct route to Mabini's town center or government facilities.
