Etymology
[edit]The name "Naguilian" is derived from the Iloco word nagilian, which is based on the root íli, meaning "town." The prefix nag- indicates the present or past tense, while the suffix -an expresses a perfective aspect, signifying a completed action or state. Together, nag-ili-an can be interpreted as "towed by people" or "a place that has been established or settled by people."
The name is also thought to originate from the Ilocano phrase Nagilian dagiti gangganaet, which translates to "a place where people from other places come to stay." This highlights the town's historical function as a settlement or gathering point for individuals from other regions. Over time, the name "Naguilian" became associated with the town, reflecting its significance as a center for migration and community formation.[5]
History
[edit]Early History
[edit]In its early history, Naguilian was originally a settlement of Cordilleran tribes, particularly the Kankanaey and Ibaloi people, who established themselves along the Balili River and the foothills of the Cordillera Central.[7] These early inhabitants engaged in active trade along the Aringay Trail, an ancient gold trading route that connected the southwestern Cordillera to the lowlands of northwestern Luzon. The settlements traded goods such as gold, silk, textiles, rice, porcelain, wax, and earthenware with neighboring lowland Ilocano (Samtoy) and Pangasinan communities, as well as foreign merchants from China, Japan, and Maritime Southeast Asia.[7]
Spanish Colonization
[edit]During the Spanish colonization in the 1700s, Ilocano immigrants began settling in La Union's coastal areas, including the establishment of the town of Bauang. Due to population growth, settlers followed the river inland and established a colony in a fertile valley they named "Naguilian." [5] They cultivated the land, focusing on agriculture, particularly rice, corn, and sugarcane the primary ingredient in producing traditional wine called "basi" and vinegar. Initially, the settlement was under the jurisdiction of Bauang and governed through the encomienda system, where local inhabitants were entrusted to Spanish encomenderos, friars, and native nobles in exchange for tribute and governance.[8]
By 1739, the Catholic Church in Naguilian was constructed, solidifying the Spanish presence in the area.[5] In 1765, Naguilian, then a barrio of Bauang, became part of the province of Pangasinan and was officially recognized as a town. Don Francisco delos Reyes served as its first gobernadorcillo.[8]
In February 18, 1839, Naguilian separated from Bauang, coinciding with the centennial celebration of its Catholic Church.[5] Portions of Burgos and Bagulin were originally part of Naguilian, including “Disdis” (later called “Stancia” by the Spaniards) and areas along the southwestern bank of the Naguilian River, predominantly inhabited by Igorots.[8]
Creation of La Union Province
[edit]On October 29, 1849, Governor-General Narciso Zaldua Clavería issued a decree unifying eight towns from Pangasinan, three from Ilocos Sur, and territories in the Cordillera to create a new province called La Union. On March 2, 1850, Governor-General Antonio María Blanco signed the Superior Decreto, officially establishing La Union. Naguilian became one of its founding towns, alongside others like San Fernando (the cabicera), Santo Tomas, Rosario, Tubao Agoo, Aringay, Caba, Bauang, San Juan, Balaoan, Luna, Bangar and Bacnotan.
Philippine Revolution
[edit]During the Philippine Revolution, Naguilian residents joined the nationwide struggle for independence from Spain. Under the leadership of General Manuel Tinio y Bondoc, allied with Emilio Aguinaldo, locals fought against Spanish forces in Northern Luzon. Revolutionary leaders from Bauang, such as Remigio Patacsil and Mauro Ortiz, played significant roles in the liberation efforts, which led to the eventual withdrawal of Spanish forces from La Union.
American Period
[edit]During the Philippine-American War, the town became a center of resistance led by Guerrilla Unit No. 1, under the leadership of Captain Rivera. The unit operated in Naguilian and its neighboring areas, including Cava (now Caba) and Galiano (which later became Bagulin and Burgos). These guerrilla efforts were instrumental in resisting American forces and defending the town's autonomy during the conflict.
By the early 1900s, during the American colonial period, the town of Naguilian underwent territorial adjustments. The municipality was divided into three parts: one that remained as Naguilian, another that became part of Burgos, and the third that was incorporated into Bagulin.[8]
Japanese Occupation
[edit]During the Japanese occupation of the Philippines (1941–1945), Naguilian served as a key route for Japanese soldiers traveling between lowland camps and the Cordillera region, particularly Baguio. The town became a stronghold for guerrilla fighters who resisted Japanese control. Despite strict military rule, forced labor, food shortages, and violence, the people of Naguilian persevered until the liberation of La Union following the Battle of Lingayen Gulf in World War II, which marked the return of American forces.
Geography
[edit]Naguilian is characterized by its gently rolling hills and mountains, bordered by the Cordillera Mountains to the east. The town's landscape features rolling plains in narrow strips framed by mountain slopes and riverbanks, with streams and springs flowing from the mountains.

The approximate elevation of the municipality is 165 meters above sea level. It has the ninth highest approximate average elevation among the twenty (20) towns of the province. The portion with the highest elevation is 544 meters above sea level while the lowest is 10 meters.[6] The slopes range from 2–7% in barangays like Mamat-ing Sur and Bancagan, 15–25% in areas like Tuddingan and Casilagan, and 0–2% in Lioac Norte and Lioac Sur.

Economy
[edit]Agriculture
[edit]Generally, the agricultural lands in the town consist of narrow strips situated in the valleys, extending from the lower slopes of the mountains to the banks of rivers, brooks, and streams. These fertile areas benefit from the natural irrigation provided by the water sources, making them ideal for various forms of agriculture. Additionally, the rolling terrain of the mountain and hilltops is also harnessed for the cultivation of rice, corn, tobacco, sugarcane, root crops, fruits, lowland vegetables and a variety of other crops. The agricultural landscape reflects a diverse range of farming practices that contribute significantly to the local economy.
The area devoted to agricultural purposes totals 9,859.71 hectares (24,363.9 acres), accounting for 97% of the total land area of the town. This extensive agricultural expanse supports both subsistence and commercial farming, providing livelihoods for many of the town’s residents. The dominance of agricultural land highlights the importance of farming in the region’s cultural and economic identity. In recent years, efforts have been made to improve farming practices, enhance irrigation systems, and diversify crops in order to boost productivity and sustainability in the agricultural sector.
