History

Ampatuan was created out of 23 barrios of Datu Piang on June 21, 1959 by Republic Act No. 2509. [cite web|url= http://www.chanrobles.com/republicacts/republicactno2509.html|title= Republic Act No. 2509|accessdate= 2008-05-18|author= Chan Robles Virtual Law Library|date= 1998-07-19|] On November 22, 1973, the municipality of Esperanza was carved out of its territory [cite web|url= http://www.chanrobles.com/presidentialdecrees/presidentialdecreeno339.html|title= Presidential Decree No. 339|accessdate= 2008-05-18|author= Chan Robles Virtual Law Library|date= 1998-07-19|] and was made part of the province of Sultan Kudarat, while Ampatuan itself was made part of Maguindanao, when the old Cotabato province was divided into three provinces on the same date. [cite web|url= http://www.chanrobles.com/presidentialdecrees/presidentialdecreeno341.html|title= Presidential Decree No. 341|accessdate= 2008-05-18|author= Chan Robles Virtual Law Library|date= 1998-07-19|] It further lost territory, when its electorate ratified on January 3, 2004, the separation of ten of its barangays to form the municipality of Datu Abdullah Sangki.
