=== Pre-Colonial and Spanish Era === Long before Spanish contact, the area of Sibalom was inhabited by settled agricultural communities that had moved away from primitive nomadic lifestyles. Local tradition traces the town's roots to Malay settlers from Borneo under the leadership of Datu Sumakwel. The settlement was originally known as Barabanua (small town), located at the foot of Bari Hill. During this period, the Sibalom River flowed through what is now the municipal plaza, emptying into the sea at Malandog, Hamtic. However, in the mid-17th century, a geographical shift occurred when Bari Hill was breached, causing the river to redirect its course toward San Pedro, San Jose.
