SHORT HISTORY:
 The name Panabo originated from the phrase "pana-sa-boboy" where "pana"
means "arrow", the tool which the original inhabitants of the place,
the Aetas, use when hunting wild animals for food
 Originally the rich lowland of what today is Panabo was inhabited by a
group of stocky-haired natives called Aetas
 When the first batch of settlers arrived on the place, in what is now the urban
core of the city, they found out that it was already a thriving community, and
thus called it Taboan, or trading center.
 Panabo, until then only a mere barangay of Tagum, then known as Magugpo
during that time, became a town on 19 July 1949, through Presidential
Proclamation No. 236 of the President Manuel A. Roxas.
 The Tagum Agricultural Development Company, otherwise known as
TADECO, was founded on 20 December 1950 in the town of Panabo.[6] It
was the birth of the world's largest Cavendish banana plantation
 The local government unit of Panabo was created into a component city of
Davao del Norte by virtue of Republic Act No. 9015 and ratified by the
residents in a plebiscite held on March 31, 2001.
