Agusan del NorteAgusan was first referred to by its
Malay settlers as “agasan”, a word in the dialect meaning “where water
flows”. This alluded to the presence of a mighty river that traversed the whole area. With the coming of the Spanish conquistadores, the area
where flowed a mighty river came to be known as “Agusan” to the
civilized world.

Norte, for most of their historical existence, they were but one
province under one governor or under one local civil government.

fishermen wanted to occupy the hut by force said “Agaw”, the term
which was later given a prefix “Suri” by an
immigrant.

was formally organized or separated from its mother
