history
With Republic Act No. 58, Tubod was detached from the mother parish of Kolambugan on October 17, 1946 and made a separate administrative parish.
From this point on the economic development progressed slowly, as the place had almost no developed roads. In the following years, when the administrative government was in the district of Baroy, the development of the community dragged on.
On June 10, 1949, with Executive Order No. 222, the district of Baroy was then separated from Tubod as an independent administrative municipality. In the years that followed, road construction was promoted, public markets and a quay were also created, which contributed significantly to the development of the infrastructure.
On February 3, 1982, the seat of the provincial government Lanao del Nortes was moved from the city of Iligan City to Tubod, making the municipality the capital of the province.
