Cantilan is considered the "Cradle of Towns" in Surigao del Sur. It originally encompassed the whole area of Carcanmadcarlan or the present towns of Carrascal, Cantilan, Madrid, Carmen and Lanuza. This town was established by the Spaniards in the early 1700s in the settlement of "Daang Lungsod" with the construction of the "Cota" better known as Baluarte de Señor San Miguel located across the river in the modern Cantilan.
On December 10, 1918, Executive Order No. 52 of American Governor General Francis Burton Harrison was issued that divided Cantilan into three parts. Cantilan became part of the new province of Surigao del Sur in 1960.
