📍The province of Agusan del Sur occupies almost all of the Agusan River Valley except for the areas covered by Agusan del Norte. Agusan del Sur is bounded on the north by the province of Agusan del Norte, on the east by the province of Surigao del Sur, on the south by the provinces of Davao del Norte and Compostela valley and on the west by the province of Bukidnon.
The land is an elongated basin formation with mountain ranges on its eastern and western side. The Agusan River, which flows from Davao del Norte towards Agusan del Norte, runs almost in the middle of the valley. This valley occupies the central longitudinal section of the province. The province is considered the fourth biggest province in the country occupying a land area of 8,965.5 square kilometers.
The province lies outside the typhoon belt but is usually suffering depressions when typhoons hit the Visayas and Surigao del Norte. It has no definite dry season; rainfalls are heaviest during the period October to January.
The name Agusan del Sur is a very interesting sideline in the history of the province. The name Agusan came from the word "Agasan" which means, "where the water flows".
Agusan del Sur and its sister province Agusan del Norte were once part of Surigao and later of Agusan, until their creation as separate provinces on June 17, 1967 under Republic Act No. 4979.
