The municipality's name dates back to the story of Datu Mambantayao. A tribe living seven kilometers away from the Datu's domain abducted a lady. It just so happened that this lady was the one Datu Mambantayao fell in love with. Upon hearing news of the lady's abduction, the Datu quickly rallied his men to rescue her. The Datu together with his men succeeded in the rescue. Later on, the Datu and the lady got married.
