history
The first reports of a settlement were in 1604. After that, Tuguegarao grew in size, especially since Lal-Lo became the provincial capital in 1839. In 1893 Tuguegarao became the provincial capital because of its economic development. American troops occupied the city on December 12, 1899.
During the Second World War , the city fell to Japan on December 12, 1941, as the airfield was particularly important. The city and the airport were eventually bombed by US airmen between January and May 1945. Filipino guerrillas liberated the city from the Japanese in June . On June 25, the city was officially liberated.
In 1975 Tuguegarao even became the capital of the Cagayan Valley district , as it is particularly suitable as the administrative seat of government due to its geographical location in the center of the district.
