According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 36,887 people.[3]

History

During the Pre-Spanish era this town was inhabited by the Subanons. During the Spanish colonization, Manukan was a barrio part of Dapitan. In the creation of the municipality of Katipunan, this barrio became a barangay Manukan. Chickens were plenty and breeds that supply the northern part of Mindanao come from this town. "Manukan" word means poultry farm. On June 16, 1951, thru the effort of former Congressman (and later Senator) Roseller T. Lim with the help of Governor Serapio J. Datoc of the former Province of Zamboanga, President Elpidio Quirino signed into law Republic Act No. 655 creating the municipality of Manukan.[5] In 1952, the barrios of Manukan, Lipras, Dipane, Linay, Mate, Sirongan, Libuton, Disakan, Siparok, Ponot, and Manawan of Katipunan were formed into the town of Manukan.[6]

Sitio Libuton became a barangay in 1954.[7]

Lipras was renamed San Antonio in 1957.[8]

In 1979, by virtue of Batas Pambansa Blg. 15, seven barangays in the southwestern part of the municipality were separated to create the municipality of Ponot (now Jose Dalman).[9]
