==History== Originally, Anahawan was to be named as Delgado through Executive Order No. 219, issued by Governor-General Dwight F. Davis on December 2, 1929, which organized 22 barrios to be separated from Hinundayan. However, its organization only took effect on January 1, 1930. By Act No. 3705 dated November 20, Delgado was renamed Anahawan, which would be effective exactly a year after its establishment.
