A brief historical overview
The Spaniards explored the Gulf area of Davao during the 16th century, but did not begin colonizing the region until 1848 because of resistance. There has been a claim that all of the Gulf was conquered peacefully, but the population was divided in 1892 between those who supported the Spanish rule and those who sided with the Moros.
In 1941, after bombing the harbor, the Japanese occupied Davao and made it a stronghold of their defense. It was only after the American forces liberated the country in 1944 that many Japanese structures were demolished and the Japanese economy was stifled.
After 1945, when Mindanao became the regional capital in the southern part of the country, Davao underwent numerous improvements that made it an urbanized city.Several conflicts erupted in the city, including those caused by communist guerillas, criminals, and leftists. With the election of Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte in 1988, social stability was restored.
