Formerly a part of Binalatongan town (now San Carlos City), Bayambang, according to local oral traditions, derived its name from the word balangbang or balangabang, which is the name of a native species of bauhinia (Piliostigma malabaricum), which used to thrive in the place and used as a souring agent.
It is a first-class municipality in the central part of southern Pangasinan and lies along the banks of the Agno River. It is bounded on the north by the town of Malasiqui, on the south by Camiling in the province of Tarlac, on the east by Basista, and on the west by Urbiztondo.
Its location is perfect for businesses that target the Ilocos Region to the north, Central Luzon to the south, Western Pangasinan towns to the west and eastern Pangasinan towns to the east. Bayambang is not just a random pit stop but at a strategic crossroad which create exceptional possibilities of high foot traffic.
Bayambang is a town of many things. Foremost, it is an agricultural town, specifically known as "the Onion Capital of Northern Luzon" and "the Corn Belt of Pangasinan." It is also famous for its delicious fish buro and freshwater fish, that is why its annual town fiesta is dubbed as the ‘Malangsi Fish-tival,’ malangsi meaning freshwater fish.
Secondly, it is also a university town, because it houses a large old university, established in 1922, the Pangasinan State University-Bayambang Campus.
Bayambang is also known as the home of the binasuan dance.
The town also has a reputation of being a town of "faith healers" as well as devotees of the patron saint, San Vicente Ferrer.
Lastly, it is an historic town, because it once served as the fifth capital of the First Philippine Republic, and also the place where local heroes staged the first revolts against the abuses of the Spanish colonizers in Pangasinan.
Bayambang has 77 barangays, which are classified into nine (9) districts.
The municipality’s land area is generally level, with a hilly portion in a few barangays (Cadre Site, Dusoc, Bani, and Bical).
Economic Priorities:
The LGU of Bayambang has been undertaking analysis and engagements for the past year to develop practical ideas to reboot the local economy after the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We have identified a set of priorities to solve the town’s economic issues and pursue our fight against poverty and inequality, to wit:
· Agri-fisheries mechanization
· Implementation of EEC Plan to curb bill payments on high consumption of energy (electric, fuel, water)
· Implementation of and support for the Local Public Transport Route Plan
· Strengthening cooperative development and small businesses
· Heightened infrastructure efforts while adhering to Green Building Code to generate more jobs
· Opening local tourism potentials
· Easing business restrictions
· Boosting access to quality government-financed health and education services
· Expanding trade and investment
