HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF NATUMOLAN
As a preview , the History of Barangay NatumolanTagoloan, Misamis Oriental can be traced back to the 1940’s. As early as 1940, Barangay Natumolan was called sitio Ilaya , wherein only few families lived as original residents. The land area was owned by the elite persons and most of them are living in Poblacion of Tagoloan. When the Spaniards came , they made this place a hiding place especially during the 2nd World War. Sitio Ilaya was forest before we could see different big trees growing which can still be seen today. Since it has a river nearby , the residents used to catch different kind of fishes aside from hunting birds and animals as means of living. Ilaya is the center of all Sitios , and their boundary is the river and the mountain. The earliest inhabitants were the following families : the NERI’s , ASIÑERO’s , BADE’s, LLANARES’s , SABIO’s , PAGARA’s , NANAY’s , TADEO’s , SENO’s and QUINQUIÑO’s. In their time , SitioIlaya whose population was very small and was not sufficient enough to qualify to become a Barangay, but still they have a political leader called Teniente Del Barrio// one of the tales of this Sitio was a dream of an elderly woman that part of the mountain will become a Volcano. She thus interpreted her dream that it was a message to put a chapel to that portion of a mountain , so that it will not become an active Volcano. A chapel was then built and until now still exist and visited by the people especially during Lenten season. It is named Sta. Cruz chapel and they celebrate its Fiesta every 3rd day of May.
