Among before the Spanish regime, this spot was unknown to history because this place could not be considered even a sitio( a portion of a barangay) for it is a great stretches of bush land. During the Commonwealth Government under President Manuel L. Quezon, there was a complete supervision on Local Government and the late Primo Quijada became the first official who administered this barangay. Sta. Josefa got its name through a willful and wholehearted intention of a man who was then one of the most prestigious person throughout Mindanao and Sulu during that time. It was during the advent of the American regime in the country, Hon. Teofisto Guingona Sr. who was the so-called Commissioner of Mindanao and Sulu, visited the place sometime between 1944-45 and then officially proclaimed the name of the place as Josefa in honor of his wife, Josefa Guingona.
