History
Misamis Oriental used to be a part of Cebu. In 1818, it became a "Corregimento" made up of four "Partidos" or divisions; namely, Partido de Misamis, Partido de Dapitan, Partido de Cagayan and Partido de Catarman.

During the latter part of the 19th century, Misamis was one of the six districts of Mindanao, and later, one of the seven districts in Mindanao and Sulu at the close of the Spanish era with Cagayan de Misamis, (now Cagayan de Oro), as its capital.

In November 2, 1929, the Philippine Legislature enacted RA 3537, dividing the province of Misamis into two provinces, namely Misamis Oriental and Misamis Occidental.
