In the early days, Bingawan is just a small barangay (community) of Calinog which is an arrabal of Passi.
One day, some people saw a deep well in the middle of the rocks that they call "bingaw" or space or hole. This is where they got the name of their town. Eventually, they call the area Bingawan by its folks.
