"Dinaig" was the former name of Datu Odin Sinsuat until it was renamed in 1994 by virtue of Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Act No.

Following this event, the then mayor of Dinaig, Datu Odin Sinsuat, donated and sold a portion of his 55-hectare property, which now serves as the university's current campus.
