History
The area in what is now Maragusan is a valley that in the past were inhabited solely by native Mansakan people who made their living by engaging in slash-and-burn agricultural practices. They identified themselves as “Man-Agusan” which means those living on the banks of the Agusan River which had its source within the boundaries of the present municipality.
The area which is now Maragusan was made part of the municipality of Doña Alicia which was created in May 28, 1953 by virtue of Executive Order No. 596 of Pres. Elpidio Quirino,Quirino, E. (1953). [http://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1953/05/28/executive-order-no-596-s-1953/ Executive Order No. 596 : Organizing the municipalities of Hagonoy, Malalag, Doña Alicia and Babak; in the Province of Davao]. Official Gazette of the Republic of the Philippines, 49 (5), 1748-1749. which was renamed Mabini a year later.{{cite web|title=Republic Act No. 1007, An Act Changing the Name of the Municipality of Doña Alicia, Province of Davao, to Mabini|url=https://www.lawphil.net/statutes/repacts/ra1954/ra_1007_1954.html|accessdate=22 March 2023}} By the time the town was created with which the area became part of, the valley remained undiscovered by settlers until in 1955 a pilot and a rancher from Lake Leonard discovered it by accident while travelling off-course. This triggered the creation of an agricultural settlement located in the Aguakan Springs which is now the location of the town center. The name of the settlement gradually became "Maragusan" which is a corruption of the “Man-Agusan” which was how the Mansakan natives of the area referred to themselves.
Maragusan eventually became a barangay of Mabini of in 1962. But while it grew as an agricultural settlement located in a valley, it had no direct route to Mabini's town center or government facilities. Hence, as early as 1972, locals have been clamoring for the establishment of a municipality in the area. A proposal to name it "San Mariano" was made, named after Mariano Marcos who is the father of Pres. Ferdinand Marcos who governed the Philippines during this time, to expedite its creation. Finally, on November 25, 1977, the municipality of San Mariano was created under Presidential Decree No. 1247 signed by Pres. Marcos himself, with the barangay of Maragusan made as seat of local government.{{cite web|title=Presidential Decree No. 1247, s. 1977, An Act Creating the Municipality of San Mariano in the Province of Davao|date=25 November 1977 |url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1977/11/25/presidential-decree-no-1247-s-1977/|accessdate=22 March 2023}} After the ouster of Marcos in 1986, the municipality of San Mariano was officially renamed Maragusan in October 12, 1988.{{cite web|title=Republic Act No. 6678, An Act Changing the Name of the Municipality of San Mariano in the First District of the Province of Davao Del Norte to Municipality of Maragusan|url=https://lawphil.net/statutes/repacts/ra1988/ra_6678_1988.html|accessdate=22 March 2023}}
