The Barangay Salvacion was a given name of the first settler Mr. Ariston Aparacio, got the name from a certain place in Panabo, Davao del Norte during his visitation.  He called a meeting at their chapel which one of the agenda was the name of their barangay.  He suggested the name SALVACION whom he thought it was nice.  Through the proper consultation and votation, the settlers agreed and the named SALVACION was being used until present.

  Years ago, this place was under the supervision of the Barangay New Balanban.  The latest officials of the Municipality of Mawab endeavor to find out that Salvacion was the accurate boundary between Tagum and Mawab.  They coordinated witht the Council of Barangay New Balanban and fortunately approved their proposal.  It was officially confirmed by the Sangguniang Bayan of mawab.  Thus, the Barangay Salvacion became one othe the Barangays of Mawab.
