'''Calmay''' is one of the 22 barangays of [[Laoac]] in the Province of [[Pangasinan]]. |
|||
Etymologically, Calmay got its name from a tropical tree called "carmai" which was so abundant in the place until such time it vanished due to increase in settlements which resulted to the clearing of forested areas. |
|||
Calmay is the second largest [[barangay]] of [[Laoac]] after [[Barangay]] Cabilaoan. It is located south-west of Laoac. It is separated by a long but narrow, man-made irrigation canal from [[Barangay]] Inmanduyan in the north; the Angalacan River serves as its natural boundary in the western side separating [[Laoac]] from [[Manaoag]]; a wide and a long, man-made irrigation canal serves as its boundary in the eastern side separating it from [[Barangay]] Nanbagatan; and, a small creek serves as its boundary in the south. |
|||
[[Agriculture]] is the major source of livelihood. Seventy percent (70%) of its total land area is being farmed and suited for all kinds of tropical crops. |
|||
According to its unwritten history, the first settlers were migrants from the [[Ilocos]] provinces. They occupied the central portion of the land where a creek dividing the entire area into two, the western and the eastern. They cultivated the land and established their first community of purely of their relatives, particularly the ''Galas'' and the ''Cuaresma's''. |
