The community is located just north of Paw Paw Creek approximately 7.5 miles south-southeast of Milan and six miles northeast of Browning.
The name was sometimes spelled "Pawpaw". A post office called Pawpaw was established in 1899, and remained in operation until 1905. The community most likely was so named because of the paw paw thickets near the original town site.
