During the second regular session of the first legislative assembly of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, the regional legislature created Northern Kabuntalan out of 11 barangays of Kabuntalan, by virtue of Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Act No. 206,[5] which was subsequently ratified in a plebiscite held on December 30, 2006. The town was part of the province of Shariff Kabunsuan until its nullification by the Supreme Court in July 2008.

The ARMM law creating the municipality provides that its administrative center shall be established in barangay Tumaguinting.
