History



Early history


Before the ranching settlers arrived in Quezon in the early 20th century, this mountainous and bucolic land was inhabited by the nomadic Manobo tribe. These natives lived mostly along the banks of the Pulangui River, around the edges of thickly-forested hills or near lush watersheds of which Quezon is abundantly blessed with.


Contemporary period


After the Second World War, an influx of migrants from other parts of the country began arriving in Quezon. The opening of a bridge over the Pulangui River in the early 1960s increased the pace of migration even more.

The original name of the municipality per Executive Order No. 199 dated November 18, 1965, was Upper Pulangui, in which the appointed mayor was Crispin C. Bernadas.

On June 18, 1966, Republic Act No. 4802 was enacted by the House of Congress under the sponsorship of the then Congressman Cesar M. Fortich, which act was entitled "An Act Creating The Municipality Of Quezon in The Province of Bukidnon," with the Seat of Government in the present site of Kiokong.[5]

On June 21, 1969, Republic Act 5961 was passed by the Philippine Congress, amending Republic Act 4802 "An Act Creating the Municipality of Quezon in the Province of Bukidnon" with the seat of government at Salawagan.[6] This act however, was not implemented, for on June 19, 1971, another Act - RA 6240 was passed transferring again the site from Salawagan to Kiokong.[7]
