History
Prior to its creation as an independent province, Agusan was divided between the provinces/districts of Misamis, and Surigao during the Spanish colonial period. In 1907, Agusan was separated from Misamis, and Surigao creating the Agusan province through the sub-provinces of Bukidnon, and Butuan.[2]
The sub-province of Bukidnon became an independent province in 1914 through Act No. 2408 and Butuan sub-province assumed the name of Agusan. Both Agusan and Bukidnon were put under the Department of Mindanao and Sulu from 1914 to 1920.
In 1967, Agusan was dissolved and was splitted into two provinces of Agusan del Norte, and Agusan del Sur.[3]
