Climate

Climate typeClimate typePAGASA sorts the country's climate into four types by when the rain falls. Type I has a dry season from November to April and a wet one for the rest of the year; Type II has no dry season, with the most rain from December to February; Type III has a short dry season; Type IV has rain spread through the year.More in the glossary

Type II[32]

No dry season. The rain is heaviest from December to February, and no month is truly dry.

Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

Life & Economy

About 38 of every 100 people lived below the poverty line in 2021.
Poverty, 2021Poverty incidenceHow many of every 100 people live in families whose income is below the poverty line: what a person needs in a year for food and other basic needs, as the PSA sets it for each province. It is an estimate, from a survey or, for a town, a statistical model, so the PSA gives a range it is likely to fall in.More in the glossary
37.6% of people[19]Below the poverty line, by the PSA's estimate for every town.
Income classIncome classThe Department of Finance sorts provinces, cities and municipalities into classes by their average yearly income over recent years: 1st class has the most. It measures the local government's income, not how well off its people are.More in the glossary

About 38 of every 100 people in Prosperidad lived below the poverty line in 2021 (37.6%)[19]

Republic Act No. 2650, approved on 18 June 1960, separated thirteen municipal districts from the Gibong sub-province of Agusan and made them the Municipality of Prosperidad.[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe town's own history page says old residents thought the name, meaning a place of rapid prosperity, came from the deputy military governors of the early civil-government years; the page presents this as hearsay.[11]

Its story

Before Spanish rule there was a Manobo settlement called Culilay where the Sianib and Gibong rivers meet.[11]

Spanish missionaries renamed the place San Juan, and it was later changed to Las Navas.[11]

Under American rule Agusan was split into provincial subdivisions, and Gibong was made up of 13 municipal districts, including one named Prosperidad.[11]

The first mayor, Grecimo Ostos, was appointed by President Garcia after the town was created in 1960.[11]

In 1964 the seat of government moved from the old Prosperidad site to Barangay Bahbah, today's Poblacion, by an executive order the town page numbers 125.[11]

When Agusan was divided in 1967, Prosperidad became the capital of Agusan del Sur.[11]
