Lawton, Manila (City of Manila)


This place was named after American General Henry Ware Lawton (1843-1899). General Lawton was the highest ranking American official killed in the Philippine-American War (1899-1902) when he was shot by a Filipino sharpshooter at the Battle of Paye (now in Morong, Rizal) on December 19, 1899. He was initially buried at the Manila North Cemetery and his remains were subsequently moved to Arlington National Cemetery.

In the 1970's Lawton Plaza was officially changed to Liwasang Bonifacio (after Philippine hero, Andres Bonifacio). However, people have been so used to calling this place Plaza Lawton that the old name is still commonly used to this day.
