history
Around 1947, the families of Santiago Alaba and Tomas Beldad mainly lived in Buayan. The place became a barrio of the community of Dadiangas (today General Santos ) on September 17, 1956 and was named Alabel in honor of the two families.
On September 10, 1971, Alabel was made an administrative municipality by Republic Act No. 6393.
The parish included eight barrios: Poblacion, Alegria, Maribulan, Pag-asa, Kawas, Domolok, Bagacay, and Tokawal. Spring, Baluntay, Datal Anggas and Paraiso were newly formed between 1986 and 1989, so that the community has since consisted of twelve barangays .
Since Republic Act No. 7228 came into effect on March 16, 1992, Alabel has been the seat of the provincial administration of the newly formed Sarangani Province.
