History

The municipality's name was originally called “Solinog”, which refers to a deep creek located at the eastern portion of the poblacion where Langaran River flows. Its name was later changed to Calamba by the Municipal Council of Plaridel, after the birthplace of a patriot Jose Rizal in Laguna in Luzon, where also some migrant Christian settlers in the municipality came from. It was formerly part of the municipal territory of Plaridel, Misamis Occidental. Being the fastest growing barrio, it was separated from the Municipality of Plaridel and became independent on February 1, 1948, under Executive Order No. 85 series of 1947 by President Manuel A. Roxas. It was inaugurated into a municipality thirteen days later, on Valentine's Day.

The Subanons were the original inhabitants of the municipality. They had the practice of clearing certain areas one after the other. Those cleared areas were later abandoned and were easily acquired by the new settlers coming from the Luzon, Visayas and other parts of Mindanao.
