HistoryThe history of Caraga can be traced
back to the 15th century when explorers discovered the existence of "Kalagans", believed to be of Visayan Origin in one of the three districts in Mindanao. The word Caraga originated from the Visayan word "Kalagan": "Kalag" meaning soul or people and "An" meaning land. The "Kalagans have a long history of being brave and fearless. Thus, the region was called by early chroniclers as the "Land of the Brave and Fierce People". The "Kalagans", called "Caragans" by the Spaniards occupied the district composed of the two provinces of Surigao, northern part of Davao Oriental and Eastern Misamis Oriental.
Caraga
Climate
Caraga Region has Type II kind of climate, with no pronounced wet and dry season. It has been observed that during the months of November to February, occurrence of heavy rains is usually experienced in the region.
Agusan del Norte
The Philippine Republic's Province of Agusan del Norte is located in northern Mindanao, the capital, with the rest apportioned among eleven towns. Butuan City contains an airport, and the neighboring town of Nasipit contains an international seaport. Agusan del Norte is dominated by the lower valley of the Agusan River, which arises in Davao and flows northward until, broad and strong, it empties into Butuan Bay.

Agusan del Sur
Agusan del Sur, in the Caraga Region, occupies the upper valley of the Agusan River on the island of Mindanao. It now comprises fourteen towns, of which Prosperidad is the capital, the land is mostly forested, and the economy is mostly agricultural, the chief crops being maize, rice, coconuts, and bananas. Lumbering is a distant second. Industry is limited to wood-working and food-processing. There is some mining.

Surigao del Norte
Surigao del Norte, in Caraga Region, occupies the northernmost part of Mindanao and well over a hundred offshore islands, divided among one city--Surigao, the capital--and twenty-seven towns. There is much to draw tourists, particularly watersports on the outer islands, whose spectacular scenery and many miles of pristine beaches were apparently unknown to the natives until recently.
Surigao del Sur
Was created by the division of the Province of Surigao in 1960. The land slopes from the Diwata Range in the west down to a deeply indented coast, and then further down to the Mindanao Deep. Forty-five percent of the land is agricultural. The remainder is largely forest, and industry is largely limited to logging and wood-processing, including paper-making, although Surigao del Sur reportedly sits on enormous reserves of iron ore.

hard, Crumbles,
when soaked in water.
