| General Note |
- General note - This barrio, which became a municipality in 1971, is named thus because of the local belief that the Portuguese explorer''s party landed there on its way to Cebu from Homonhon Island. When Ferdinand Magellan''s Spanish fleet hugged the coastline, he sent a party near the river mouth to secure provisions. Located on the Agusan river''s mouth joining Butuan Bay, Magallanes (originally known as Baug) became the seat of the government of Butuan after Masao. Constant erosion and floods accounted for the transfer. Today we see Magallanes' crumbling river bank and the land slowly being eaten by the sea.
