The name Cogon was derived from the name of the plant belonging to the
grass family. Its first name was cocogonan meaning grassland.
Cocogonan was first inhabited by Gubateos who stayed after fleeing from
the moro raids in the poblacion and other places. The place was such a refuge
because they were concealed by the high and abundant cocogonan.

only in the year 1914.
