Etymology

Banaybanay is derived from the two native words Banay (Kalagan word), meaning sprout due to its main livelihood in the area which is rice farming, and Bânay (Cebuano word) means clans due to the family clans that arrived in that area that came from Visayas Islands and Luzon and settled there along together with the Kalagans and Mandayan natives.

History

Banaybanay was primarily inhabited by the Mandayas in the uplands of Causwagan, Panikian and Mahayag, and Kalagans in shorelines and the mouth rivers of Piso, Pongoton, Mogbongcogon and Maputi which they have a strong settlement and a Muslim governance on that area leads by a Datus or Imams.

Around 1800’s before Uyanguren arrived in the Davao, there was a strong community of the Kalagans (Kagan) in the Piso lead by a chieftain named Datu Panayangan. Their dwelling was along the river Delta of Piso, along with his people who living there peacefully.

The story of the arrival of the Kallaw people from Samal Island is very well known especially among the Kalagans of Banaybanay. They arrived in the Piso to settle there along with their Kalagan brothers on the permission of Datu Panayangan. The Kallaw chieftain named Datu Lamaran reconciled with Datu Panayangan to settle the swampy place of Piso which today the Barrio Pongoton from the word pangotanan means "a place of abundance of fish and crabs to catch".

Until now, the grandsons or the clans of Datu Panayangan and Datu Lamaran are still living on the areas that divide into many families.

Second World War

At the time of Japanese occupation, Banaybanay - known as Piso Point , was an important location for the Japanese Soldiers on the Second World War due to its strategic location in the Davao Gulf. The Japanese established a camp called Piso Camp in Barangay Calubihan.

Piso Point is a former Japanese naval base throughout World War II which is located at the eastern portion of the Davao Gulf, across from Davao City, Philippines. It was also a harbor for Japanese suicide boats which had been harassing American shipping in the Davao Gulf. During the liberation of the Philippines from the Japanese on May 14, 1945, many of the Japanese suicide boats were annihilated by the U.S. Navy.
