Cabangahan is a hispanicization of the Binukid term kabangahan, which means "a place of many oil palm" [Binukid: banga].[6] It was first settled by the Higaonons and upon the migration of other ethnic groups into Mindanao, the settlement eventually became a sitio of Barangay Bugcaon, which was then a part of Malaybalay. In 1950, Cabangahan was separated from Bugcaon and became a regular barangay.[6] By 1964, the Municipality of Lantapan was created which included Bugcaon;[7] in 1966, RA 4787 further stipulated that Cabangahan remain as part of Malaybalay.[8]
