A plebiscite for ratification, along with ten more newly-created local entities including nearby Bacungan, was held on May 17, coinciding with the barangay elections.On September 29, 1983, New People's Army guerrillas ambushed government troops in a mountainous area near Godod village, leaving 39 soldiers and seven civilians dead, and wounding eight others, in one of the worst communist attacks.
