Dalwangan is one of the largest barangay of Malaybalay with an area of 68.25 square kilometres (26.35 square miles), 54.04% of which is classified alienable and disposable and the rest as forestland.[4] The barangay is located along the Sayre Highway and is one of the urbanizing areas of the city.[5] Most of its boundary with Impasug-ong is formed by the Ipoon Creek, starting from its headwaters at Mt. Kitanglad northwestward until it reaches the Dila River. Following the Dila River upstream forms the northern boundary of Dalwangan with Impalutao and Kibuwa. A small creek marks the boundary with Patpat to the east; the Sawaga River forms the rest of its eastern boundary with Kalasungay. To the south the Kalatugunan Creek marks the boundary between Dalwangan and Capitan Angel[4]

Dalwangan is characterized with a flat and rolling terrain to the north and east, and gently sloping to mountainous to the south and west intermittently incised with deep gorges formed by the Sawaga, Ipoon, and Lalawan Rivers. Wide valleys can be found in the southern part of Dalwangan. The soil is characterized as clay loam.

History

edit

The name "Dalwangan" comes from Binukid which means "shed in a valley".[4] The settlement of what is now Dalwangan was known as Sil-ipon, named after a creek less than a kilometer to the north of the village. The village was officially designated as a barrio in 1913 but was only organized by order of Bukidnon governor Manuel Fortich on March 26, 1915. Juanito Casinabe was appointed as its first teniente del barrio. Throughout the 20th century Dalwangan has been progressive as a result of its location along the Sayre Highway and the establishment of the Malaybalay Stock Farm and various government research institutions for agriculture.
