Tagoloan

The name TAGOLOAN was a product of a priest’s curiosity and
interest to seek the very source of a river which when flooded
caused death of human and animals and destruction of properties.
It is told that after a week of climbing the hills and mountains
on foot and by horse he finally came upon his goal. He found the
wellspring under a big rock and so hidden as to defy discovery.
The priest called it TAGO-OLOHAN, which means CONCEALED SOURCE,
from “Tago” (concealed), and “OLOHAN” (source). Later especially
the Spaniards changed this to the present name probable due to
the difficulty of pronouncing the word.

Another vision of the legend of Tagoloan is that it originated
from Moslem words, namely “tago” meaning “a place” and “oloan”
meaning “head: or “chief”. Tagoloan therefore means “the place
of the chief”.
