Tampakan was once a barangay of the Municipality of Tupi,

South Cotabato. It was a forested area inhabited by natives
called Blaans. The place by that time was still diverse in terms of
flora and fauna.
Tampakan was derived from the term tamfaken, a native
language of Blaan which means spring for the place had plenty
of it. Abundant springs spread at the center of the barrio and
flowed out to streams traversing almost the entire area and
served as the main source of potable water to the inhabitants.
It was in the mid-40s when the first batch of landless pioneer
settlers was brought in from Luzon, Leyte and Panay in search of
greener pastures. These settlers, armed with determination and
courage, crossed the ocean to reach the place unknown to them.
Settler lived on a bunkhouse built from round logs during that
time. The building was big enough to accommodate a hundred
families. This building once stood in the same place where the
present Petron gas station is now situated. They lived in this
dwelling unit until home lots were distributed to each family
settler facilitated by the National Land Settlement
Administration.
Not long after the families have settled, World War II broke out in
December 1940 and lasted for about 4 years of struggle. An
Allied landing strip was constructed in Tampakan in 1941.
Accounts of settlers revealed that a total of 13 bombs were
dropped by US planes in Tampakan. Months later, the Japanese
Imperial Forces reached the settlement and confiscated the
settlers animals and carts. They used it to carry ammunition and
other weapons from Koronadal to Tacurong in Sultan Kudarat.
Despite the disturbance of war, development efforts continued.
While there were settlers who went back to their land of origin
due to the harsh physical and economic conditions of the place,
there were many more who were determined and decided to
stay and establish a living in Tampakan.

After the war, more Christian settlers came into the area. The
natives, feeling inferior and outnumbered, gradually transferred
to the uplands of the locality. With the influx of more people
settling in the area, the once-abundant spring eventually
vanished. Hence, the tamfaken is no longer visible at the
present time.
Years passed and Tampakan gradually developed as an
agricultural frontier. The once-forested area has become an ideal
place to live for settlers, their families and even their
grandchildren. Through years of dedication and hard work, the
settlers have finally carved a community that soon evolved into a
municipality called Tampakan.
