Brief History
Cagayan de Oro (with “de Oro” meaning “golden ”) is tagged by its people as the City of Golden Friendship. Originally, though, the province derives its name
from the gold found by the Spaniards in the Cagayan riverbed in the 1500s.
Cagayan de Oro was established by the Spaniards as a mission station in the 1600's. It became a chartered city in 1950. At the start of the 1900s, Cagayan de Oro was just a small community but has over the decades grown into the Misamis Oriental’s bustling commercial, economic, financial and educational centerInformation Source as of March 2005: BusinessWorld Online, Inc.
