Layawan was the original name of Oroquieta, which was the barrio in the province of Misamis since 1861 until 1879. They found so many stray animals along the river, thus they named the place Layawan, which means a place of stray animals. A little later, Misamis was divided into two provinces, Misamis Occidental and Oriental. Then in 1880, Layawan changed its name to Oroquieta when it became a town

. Oroquieta was created a city under Republic Act 5518 and inaugurated as a chartered city on January 1, 1970.

Pastrano, with the newly elected councilors and other city officials. The City Fiesta is held every 16th of the October. The City was politically divided into 47 barangays.
