Opol

Opol

The Municipality of Opol was once an uninhabited wilderness during the pre-Spanish time, until one group of Boholanos, lead by a Datu, migrated to the place.  They settled in the area now known as Barangay Bonbon, where they planted different crops for their livelihood.  One of the widely cultivated and most abundant crop was white squash or “opo”.  Inhabitants from nearby villages came to the area to buy the famous “opo”, until the place became popularly known as “opo”. Due to slip of the tongue, most of the inhabitants began referring to the place as “opol”.  Thus, from then on, the place has been called “Opol”.

Opol is a second class municipality in the province of Misamis Oriental, Philippines.
Opol was created from the barrios of Opol, Igpit, and Lower Iponan, formerly part of Cagayan de Oro, by virtue of Republic Act No. 524, approved June 15, 1950.
The municipality is gradually becoming more urbanized, as a result of local population growth and the expansion of nearby Cagayan de Oro City. Historically, Opol was a more rural area focused on agriculture and fishing.

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”.
