Barangay Pangulogon, a haven amidst a seemingly lost wildlife was originally inhabited by 90% Subanen and 10% Visayans. Pangulogon derived its name from subanen words "Pangulo" which means leader, and "malogon" meaning grassland. It was Hon. Ildefonso Lagura, owner of a vast area of grassland in Pangulogon, who coined the term. Barangay Pangulogon was created on July 17, 1967 under the leadership of Hon. Eleodoro Itok, who at that time was appointed the chairman. The legal basis for the creation was Republic Act 5077. The first elected Barangay Chairman was Hon. Anecito Banua who served from 1977 to 1997 until his resignation in the first quarter of 1998 where he was replaced by Hon. Melodencio Maguinsay, who is still the Barangay Chairman as of the moment.
