Tagkawayan, officially the Municipality of Tagkawayan ({{langx|tl|Bayan ng Tagkawayan}}), is a municipality in the province of Quezon, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 54,003 people.{{PH census|current}}

Tagkawayan is derived from the Tagalog phrase taga-kawayan, which translates to "from bamboo," a term that referred to the early settlers of the area, primarily Aetas. These settlers would hold festive gatherings by the seashore, signaling neighboring tribes to join by raising a cloth-tied bamboo pole from a high rock.{{cite web |title=History of Tagkawayan |url=https://tagkawayan.gov.ph/pamanat-yaman-the-tagkawayan-local-cultural-profile/history-of-tagkawayan/ |accessdate=August 25, 2024 |website=LGU Tagkawayan}}

History

=Pre-establishment=

In the early Spanish period, Tagkawayan was mainly inhabited by Aetas around Mount Cadig. Over time, migrants from Ambos Camarines and Bondoc Peninsula settled in the area as they were attracted by its rich forest resources. Tagkawayan later became a hub for various ethnic groups (including Ilocanos and Kapampangans), drawn by opportunities in logging, mining, plywood manufacturing, fishing, and agriculture.

After the rise in population with the potential of an economic growth, a formal petition to convert barrio Tagcawayan, then in Guinayangan, into an independent municipality was launched. The said letter was sent to President Manuel L. Quezon through Tomas Morato. Antonio Lagdameo then laid out an "urbanization plan" was laid out for the proposed municipality.{{cite web|url=https://tagkawayan.gov.ph/history/|title=History of Tagkawayan|language=tl|accessdate=August 12, 2022|website=Municipality of Tagkawayan}} During that time, Tagkawayan encompassed four sitios

The municipality is connected to Metro Manila by the Quirino Highway, and daily rail services to and from Naga and Legazpi to the southeast are provided by Philippine National Railways.

To spur development in the municipality, the Toll Regulatory Board designated Toll Road 5 as the extension of South Luzon Expressway.{{Cite web |last=Sta Ana |first=Jewel |date=August 18, 2020 |title=SLEX Toll Road 5 to Connect Quezon Province to Sorsogon |url=https://www.yugatech.com/news/slex-toll-road-5-to-connect-quezon-province-to-sorsogon/ |access-date=January 12, 2021 |website=YugaTech}} A 420-kilometer, four-lane expressway starting from the terminal point of the now under construction SLEX Toll Road 4 in Barangay Mayao, Lucena City to Matnog, Sorsogon, near the Matnog Ferry Terminal. On August 25, 2020, San Miguel Corporation announced that it will invest in the project, which will reduce travel time from Lucena to Matnog from 9 hours to 5.5 hours.{{Cite news |last=Cordero |first=Ted |date=August 25, 2020 |title=San Miguel Investing P122 B for SLEX Toll Road 5, Pasig River Expressway Projects |work=GMA News Online |url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/money/companies/752828/san-miguel-investing-p122b-for-slex-toll-road-5-pasig-river-expressway-projects/story/ |access-date=January 12, 2021}}
