| pre-1920s | The present-day Pagadian had its beginnings as a sitio of Margosatubig. |
| July 1927 | It became a barrio under the Municipal District of Labangan, Zamboanga upon the implementation of Executive Order no.70. |
| 1934 | The transfer the seat of the Labangan Government to Pagadian was made through the efforts of Director Teofisto Guingona, Sr. who was commissioned by Philippine Governor-General Leonard Wood to find out the possibility of transferring the seat of government of the Labangan municipality to another place. A conference was first held, together with the Datus and the early Christian settlers as the idea of the transfer was at first largely opposed by the Christians. Eventually, a consensus was reached when the designated committee led by Datu Balimbingan of Labangan and with the consent of Datu Macaumbang surveyed the western part of the present area and found Talpokan, a part of the barrio of Pagadian, deemed as a suitable place for such transfer. At the same time, Datu Macaumbang donated 260 hectares of land to Christians who were willing to transfer to the area. |
| March 23, 1937 | Pagadian became a municipality through Executive Order 77. Its ascendancy was due to the eager initiative of then Assemblyman Juan S. Alano, with the Hon. Jose Sanson appointed as Acting Mayor. A regular election was soon held with the Hon. Federico Jamisola elected as the first officially elected Municipal Mayor. The Municipality of Pagadian was formed by merging the municipal districts of Labangan and Dinas, as a result, making Labangan a district under its former barrio. The newly created town had 19 barangays or districts. |
| June 6, 1952 | Congressman Roseller T. Lim authored R.A. 711 dividing Zamboanga into two provinces - Norte (north) and Sur (south). |
| September 17, 1952 | Pagadian became the capital town of the newly established province of Zamboanga del Sur. |
| June 21, 1969 | It became a chartered city through R.A. 5478, becoming the third city in the Zamboanga Peninsula (Administrative Region). |
| August 16, 1976 | The city was one of the hardest hit areas in the Moro Gulf earthquake and tsunami of 1976, considered as the most devastating tsunami disaster in the Philippines in recent times. Pagadian was the major city in the area that was struck by both the earthquake and tsunami and sustained the greatest number of casualties. |
| October 1990 | President Corazon Aquino issued the Executive Order 429 that designated Pagadian City as the Center for Region 9. |
| November 12, 2004 | After having waited for more than a decade, Pagadian officially became the Regional Center for Region IX- Zamboanga Peninsula despite Zamboanga City government's opposition to the transfer. |
