Historical Context

Sarangani was created on March 16, 1992, under Republic Act No. 7228, which carved the province out of South Cotabato. It was named after Sarangani Bay. The province transitioned from an agricultural outpost into a major regional aquaculture and power generation hub, while developing Glan as its primary historical and beach tourism destination.
