GENERAL INFORMATION
Brief History

Gingoog is a Manobo word for "goodluck". The word implies good fortune, thus Gingoog means the City of Good Luck. Gingoog's pioneering tribe, the Manobo, settled in the area known as Barangay Daan Lungsod which later expanded to the lower-western side of Gingoog, the Gahub-Mangiskis area, as the population increased.

In the realm of religion, before Christian living was introduced by a Jesuit missionary, Padre Felix Garcia, the community's belief was anchored on giving homage to the "anito" and the "diwata".

In politics and administration, a crude system of leadership of a brother and sister team of Bingue-Binguela led to the formation of a pueblo in 1868, a municipality in 1903 and finally, a city in 1960.

The installation of the electric power in 1978 by Misamis Oriental II Electric Service Cooperative, Inc. (MORESCO II)facilitated the city's march towards progress.

In the 21st century, the local government is working to deliver systematic and comprehensive assistance to the entrepreneur world. This is in order to utilize and maximize the rich and fertile lands of the city without compromising the balance of nature. Gingoog is now geared towards expansion to attain its dream of a progressive and prosperous city.
