POLITICAL HISTORY
During the early American regime, Thimuay Imbing was the most recognized leader of the Subanen in this region. He was visited by Gen. Leonard Wood and other foreign leaders as well as by Muslim Sultans and Datus and prominent Christian Filipino leaders in his village at Sunglup part of Poblacion Lapuyan. Because of his diplomacy and leadership, the mountain ranges in the interior of Lapuyan were named after him known as Mt. Imbing ranges.
When Margosatubig was created into a regular municipality in 1937 in the Province of Zamboanga del Sur, one of the biggest barrio in her northern territory was the barrio of Lapuyan, bordering the municipality of Pagadian on the East, on the West the barrio of Malangas, on the North by the Municipality of Sindangan and on the South by Dumanquilas Bay.
Lapuyan was created into a regular Municipality by Virtue of Executive Order No. 273 on October 16,1957 by Pres. Carlos P. Garcia created Lapuyan into a regular Municipality upon the recommendation of Senator Roseller T. Lim, Gov. Bienvenido Ebarle, and the Provincial Board of Zamboanga del Sur. The Municipal Government started functioning as a corporate Municipality on Jan.11, 1958 with Hon. Coco Imbing Sia as the first appointed Mayor. However, the Municipality was formally inaugurated on April 21,1958 with the induction into office of the following Municipal Officials, Mayor Coco I. Sia, Vice Mayor Bayang Guiaya, Councilors Dr. Vicente Imbing, Datu Manupak Dakula, Benigno Bualan, Javier Suico, Catalino Fernandez and Canuto Lingating. In the Local Election of 1959, Coco I.. Sia became the first Elected Mayor with Atty. Fausto H. Imbing as the Vice Mayor. Upon creation into regular municipality the existing barrios within her jurisdiction are as follows; Poblacion, Kumalarang, Maruing, Carpok,Bulawan, Lakewood and Sayog. With the creation of Kumalarang and Lakewood into a regular municipality in 1959, the land area of Lapuyan is greatly reduced. However, new barangays were created in the remaining territory of Lapuyan.
