Originally and before the Spanish and later American Invasions, the majority of the people living in Kolambugan belonged to the Maranao Tribe. According to folk stories from the old leaders of Kolambugan during the Spanish occupation, some of the leaders from the interior areas of Lanao del Norte usually crossed the beach of the municipality of Kolambugan to the beach of Ozamiz City by boat. These leaders did this to catch people living on the other side of the bay and make those people workers (personal helpers). In Maranaw terms, these workers were called "Bisaya".
