It is formerly known as Maganoy.
Despite only being the de jure (by law) seat of Maguindanao's provincial government from 1973 to 1977, the town—being home to several previous governors—has served as the de facto (by practice) capital during the governorships of Sandiale Sambolawan (1980–1986), Andal Ampatuan, Sr. (2001–2008) and Sajid Ampatuan (2008–2009).
