The name “Pangantucan” means wisdom and strength in the Manobo languages and is said to refer to a white stallion that uprooted a bamboo stalk to warn his master, a tribal datu, of approaching raiders from other tribes.

Pangantucan was previously a barrio of Maramag. It was merged in 1931 with Adtuyon, Dominorog, Panalagsagan, Kalilangan and Barandias to form a separate municipal district. It was granted Municipal status in 1961.
