History

Pre-Spanish Era

The history of Hinatuan in the annals of historical heritage can be traced back from the time of the

Manobos, the Mansakas, Subanons and the Mandayas through assimilation and amalgamation leads to the final unification of a group of people who settled in the old town site known as Da-an Lungsod. Being the first and the earliest settlement, it was later identified as part of the province of Caraga under the administration of the politico - militar of Encomienda Bislig
.

The name Hinatuan, originally derived from the word "Hatud" and later called "Hatudan" was handed down from generation to generation through oral version. These words have two versions - "Hatud" in the native dialect simply known in English as "brought." In fact, fishing is the major occupation of the inhabitants. To denote a place, a suffix " an " was added to " Hatud " to become " Hatudan "meaning brought forth.

Spanish Era

The place was used to be a pathway where dead bodies of people being transferred to another place and that's why it called " hinatudan " translates to broughting. Right until in 1856, the town was transferred to its present site, formerly known as "Hinatudan" now known as Hinatuan as ordered by the higher

presidential appointee
under the American regime. These mentioned capitanes contributed much to the building of the physical set up of the town.

The appointed presidents following Eugenio Villaluz were : Mariano Verano, Pablo Evangelio, Nicomedes Villaluz and Ex-Captain Fernando Nazareno. Domingo Balbuena was the first president - elect and followed by Florencio Villaluz, Antonio Picazales,Victoriano Evangelio, Modesto Raura and Damian Siano. Again, these town executives were responsible for the expansion of the town to a larger area.

Japanese Era

and to prepare the people for liberation of the country by the allied forces.

Modern day

After the war, Elpedio Chavez was appointed mayor of the town. He was later followed by the first-elect,

Martial Law period, LADP scholar Atty. Candelario J. Viola, Jr., Cristina M. Camba, Dr. Alicia V. Momongan and the incumbent Mayor
Shem G. Garay.

Hinatuan was the epicenter of a magnitude 7.6 earthquake on 2 December 2023.[5] It damaged or destroyed nearly 10% of the town's houses.[6] The town's mayor about 41,000 of the town's 43,000 residents were affected.[7]
