History of Barangay Tamaro, Bayambang, Pangasinan



Barangay Tamaro
Before the eighteenth century, our barangay was a forest with many wild animals and trees that no one attempted to live there. Later, a group of Aetas known as the Agalets came to  be the first settlers in our barangay. They learned to like the place because of its abundant trees.
One day, the Aetas thought of a name to call their vicinity, but the inhabitants could not think of any, until the Agalets discovered a cattle-like animal known as tamaraw roaming around the forest. It was because of this that they agreed together to name the place Tamaraw, until it evolved into Tamaro, which came to mean “a strong body of the north.”
As the years went by, the small Barrio Tamaro grew into a progressive barangay, and from time on, Tamaro was retained as the name of our community.
