Historical Background
The name KULAMAN was derived from phrase “Hadi Ag Kaulaman”, a phrase used to describe the people dwelling in the village along crystal-clear river. The phrase means “cannot be lowly regarded”. This description was based on the villagers practice every time visitors come to their village. They make sure that the visitors won’t go home empty-handed. They will always give “sug-ot”, a give-away token to the visitors when they left the village. This gesture gives the impression to visitors and the neighboring tribes that the people of Kulaman are blessed because they can afford to give gifts. Another reason why the place and people were referred to as “Hadi Ag Kaulaman” as the elders have told, was traced when the time “Magahats” (head hunters) were still invading villages. For the reasons that could not explained, these head hunters could not infiltrate the villages of Kulaman. It seems that the place and people are protected by a supreme power.
Early settler of Kulaman was certain tribe headed by their leader Datu Mangawag. When Datu Mangawag died, he was succeeded by Datu Nanganudan and the Datu Manpundohan (means steady). Datu Manpundohan so loved the place especially the crystal-clear river. That he decide to create a small village which now the Barangay When DAtu Manpundohandied, he was succeeded by Datu Man-entende (Datu Salvador Timbangan). At the time kulaman was still a sition of Barangay Caburacanan.
ADatu Man-entende worked for the separation of Kulaman from Caburacanan. On April 25, 1972 through Provincial Board Resolution No. 72-277 and Municipal Ordinance No. 5 S-1972, Sitio Kulaman was officially created as a Barrio of the Municipality of Malaybalay.
