The municipality of Talipao derived its name from a certain couple, “Tal” and “Pao”, that of the husband's and wife's name respectively.

History

From the district of Jolo, it was transformed into a full-pledged municipality on July 1, 1957, under the provision of the Department of Mindanao and Sulu Administrative Code. On March 7, 1984, Talipao was renamed as Arolas Tulawie by virtue of Batas Pambansa Blg. 692[6] but was rejected in a plebiscite.
