San Jose (Binukid: Sinakuruwan) is an urban[2] barangay in the South Highway District of Malaybalay, Bukidnon.

[5] San Jose is divided by the Sawaga River into a billowy plain to the west and a hilly and rugged east.

There are many infrastructure, land development and housing projects, including a water reservoir[6] and a diversion road by-passing the city proper and leading into Dalwangan.

[10] San Jose was originally called Sinakuruwan.,[5] which in Binukid approximately means a source of water that can be stored in a sakuru.

In December 9, 1972, it was officially converted into a regular barangay and was named San Jose after the patron saint of the village[5]
