History
Linabo is one of the oldest settlements in Bukidnon, having been recorded in 19th century documents by the Spanish clergy. Under the Spanish Empire, it was part of the town of Sevilla, Province of Misamis, whose administration gradually shifted to Linabo because of its larger population.{{Cite book|url=http://name.umdl.umich.edu/AFJ2108.0002.001|title=El archipiélago filipino : colección de datos geográficos, estadísticos, cronológicos y científicos, relativos al mismo, entresacados de anteriores obras ú obtenidos con la propia observación y estudio / por algunos padres de la Misión de la Compañía de Jesús en estas islas; [José Algué, editor].
