It acquired its name, like the majority of town centers, after a topographical distinction unique to the region — in this case after the Tigbao, a local name for a type of grass that used to swarm the countryside.
Tigbauan, a coastal town, was one of the landing sites for Filipino & American Forces led by General Douglas MacArthur in March 1945 for liberation of the Philippines from the Japanese in World War II.
