Cagayan De Oro History
January 26, 2009The Higaonon are early settlers of Cagayan de Oro.
CAGAYAN DE ORO AND ITS SURROUNDING were occupied by people around 377 AD. Signs of ancient habitation were discovered in 1970 by field researchers of the National Museum. The researchers were exploring Huluga, a place eight kilometers south of the present Cagayan de Oro City.
Huluga is a promontory with two main sections: a set of caves and an Open Site . The Open Site appears to be the village of the original people of Cagayan de Oro. Inside the cave were skeletons, pots, potsherds, tools, possibly Indian glass beads, Chinese pot fragments, and vestiges of possibly Annamese and Thai wares — indications of overseas trading. The Open Site yielded potsherds, Chinese celadon sherds, and obsidian flakes.
