How aborlan got its name has many legends. One traces its origin to the “Abel nan”, a legendary tree belonging to the gods, who inhabited the place. Another tells how two men who went fishing for the first time in Aborlan. They were frightened by the rise and fall of the tide, so they asked Abenlan from which came the name Aborlan, “Aborland” as the place was once a haven for wild boars. It was only on June 28, 1949 when Aborlan was converted into a municipality pursuant to Executive Order No. 232.

The only town in the Province with an Agricultural University, its establishment in 1910, paved the way for scientific farming in Palawan.
