Mintal has been officially declared as the Japanese Heritage Site of Davao City, which promises the future construction of a Japanese Theme Park and the reconstruction of the Japanese Relics sites.
Many accounts have been written about Mintal, mostly from oral history of its surviving pioneers. They tell mostly of stories from the Japanese occupation, as we have read earlier. Mintal, indeed is a locality filled with rich culture coming from roots of its profound history.
The barangay was once part of a vast land peopled by the Bagobo under the leadership of Datu Intal, the Bagobo chieftain who died in 1889.
The datu left behind the legacy of his name Intal, which was subsequently changed to Mintal.
The early Japanese migrants referred to it as Mintaro. Given thus, the name Mintal can be considered as a symbol of the social transformation of Mindanao with migrants, both foreign and local, taking over the island numerically, politically, economically, and culturally.
A familiar landmark of Mintal is the Ohta Monument, a monolith in honor of Ohta Kyosaburo, considered by local historians as the “Father of Davao development.”
