Where it all began...

Since 2014, this history rich town now goes by the original name of Manggatal, (meaning derived from the Malay word for "itchy mango") after it was changed back by the community's proposal.

As well as it's neighbouring town, Inanam, this area is where the legendary Kinabalu Guerillas, led by Albert Kwok, actively operated to fight the Japanese during World War II. They are also notably two of the last towns in Sabah that have pre-World War II era wooden shophouses still standing.
