History
The name of Tumauini originated from the name of the big trees found in the poblacion called “MAUINI”. It is said that when some Spaniard wanted to know the name of the trees, they asked a native saying, “COMO SE LLAMA EL GRANDE LENIA? SABES TU? The native not knowing what the Spaniards said, picked the last word he heard and answered “TUMAUINI”.
