History

Etymology and origin

Its name was derived from the Maranao word tamparan which literally means "frontge."^{[citation needed]}

During the American colonial presence in the country Sultan Mangking Sugador was appointed by the American government as Municipal District President, a position equal to the rank of Municipal Mayor, although lesser in power than the latter. When asked by the American Officials about his name, the Sultan said “I am the Sultan of Tamparan,” referring to the dowa ka lokus-tribal leaders of Tamparan.^{[citation needed]} Sultan Mangking Sugador became popular by his royal title that American officials started calling the town Tamparan.
