The community was named after the local Howe family.[3] A variant name was Gano.[1] An early postmaster named Gano gave his last name to the post office, in order to avoid repetition with nearby Howes Mill.[3] A post office called Gano was established in 1902, and remained in operation until 1923.[4]
