Etymology

The municipality's name comes from the word "nahawaan" meaning "deserted", in which a native fisherman answered when a Spaniard asking him a name of the area. A Spaniard had a hard time pronouncing "nahawaan" so it was made into "nawaan" to pronounce it easily.

Education

Located in the town of Naawan is the Mindanao State University at Naawan campus, a unit of the Mindanao State University System. MSU-Naawan was established in the 1960s and 1970s as a scientific field laboratory for scientific research in the field along with the university's main campus in Marawi City, Lanao del Sur. With the involvement of Mindanao State University's College of Fisheries, the School of Marine Fisheries Technology graduated its first batch of university graduates in 1985. As an autonomous external campus and a distinct unit of the university system, the institute was known as the MSU-Institute of Fisheries Research & Development. It directly supervised the 'original' Naawan High School (the MSU-Naawan Fisheries High School after it was renamed the MSU-Naawan Fisheries High School). When the Naawan Central School's children's choir won first prize in the NAMCYA Children's Choir Finals at the Cultural Center of the Philippines in 1987, the school made a mark on the national stage. ^[8]
