Its name was derived from theMaranaowordtamparan which literally means "frontage".[citation needed]
In 1940 PresidentManuel L. Quezon issued Commonwealth Act No. 592 creating Dansalan (nowMarawi) as a regular municipality and Tamparan as its municipal district covering the areas (now municipalities) ofMasiu,Taraka,Poona-Bayabao,Lumba Bayabao,Maguing,Mulondo,Bumbaran andWao.
DuringWorld War II, theBattle of Tamparan occurred on September 12, 1942, when a group of 90 Japanese soldiers pursuing Meranaw guerrilla Datu Busran Kalaw arrived at the town on the first day ofRamadan and shelled a fort. Enraged at such transgressions on a religious holiday, locals from Tamparan and nearby settlements assaulted the Japanese using bladed farm implements, killing all but five of the Japanese soldiers, but with 200 to 300 casualties among the residents.[5]
Tamparan District became a regular municipality on September 28, 1960, by virtue of Executive Order No. 405[6] and consequently declaredIslamic Municipality pursuant to Batas Pambansa (PB) Number 33 on June 4, 1984.[citation needed]
