History of Urdaneta
Urdaneta City was founded on January 8, 1858, and was named after Fray Andrés de Urdaneta, a Spanish friar and navigator. Originally part of the town of Binalonan, it became an independent town as settlers sought better farming opportunities.
Over time, Urdaneta grew into a vital trade and agricultural hub in Pangasinan. Thanks to its central location, strong community, and growing economy, it was officially converted into a component city on March 21, 1998.
Today, Urdaneta is known as the “Gateway to Northern Luzon,” balancing modern development with deep cultural and historical roots.
