.jpg) San Carlos City is a 3rd class city in the Province of Pangasinan, Philippines. According to the latest census, it has a population of 161,884 people in 28,025 households. This figure shows the city is the most populated land area in Pangasinan except for its density.
[edit] HistoryThe place now called San Carlos City was already a flourishing community since pre-colonial times. It was previously part of a former town called Binalatongan. Binalatongan was the capital of Luyag na Caboloan, an ancient kingdom (now comprised by the provinces of Tarlac, Zambales, Nueva Ecija, La Union, Pangasinan, and Benguet) ruled by King Ari Kasikis. The name of Binalatongan was derived from the abundance of mongo (mung bean) plants along the San Juan riverbanks. Caboloan is the name of the primitive Pangasinense dialect, of which its purest form was spoken by the natives of Binalatongan. In 1718, Binalatongan was renamed (the Municipality [town] of) San Carlos. During the 1960’s, the Municipality of San Carlos diversified into two precincts. In 1965, the smaller precinct became legally incorporated as the Municipality of Basista by virtue of RA 4866. In 1966, the larger precinct became legally incorporated as San Carlos City by virtue of Republic Act No. 4487. On April 28, 2007, San Carlos City's former mayor, Julian V. Resuello, was assassinated during an event at the city's plaza. He later died after two days. Ex-Mayor "Jolly", as everyone called him, was the best mayor San Carlos City has ever produced. He engineered San Carlos City into one of the economic tigers of northern Luzon. His legacy will remain forever! [edit] BarangaysSan Carlos City is politically subdivided into 86 barangays.
[edit] EconomySan Carlos City is among the liveliest places in the Province of Pangasinan in terms of economic activity. Called the "Mango-Bamboo Capital of the Philippines", San Carlos has the largest number of fruiting mango trees - their fruits are among the most delicious in the country - and a flourishing bamboocraft industry. An agro-industrial city, San Carlos also engages in livestock raising, crop production, inland fishing, pottery, food processing, tourism, and commerce. San Carlos is said to have an ideal investment potential because of its large land area, big population and strategic location, being in the center of Pangasinan. [edit] Places of WorshipThe patron saint of the city is Saint Dominic de Guzman, founder of the Order of Preachers; he is credited for performing miracles in the city, among them the minimal damage to the city caused by the return of the Americans to the islands during the close of World War II. The parish church built in his honor was once the biggest in Luzon. The parish of San Carlos is the oldest in Pangasinan. Roman Catholicism remains the faith of majority of San Carleñians, although there are other denominations that co-exist peacefully in the city. Discrimination of religion is discouraged, though religious practices that seem bizaare and unacceptable by society is widely looked down upon.
[edit] Educational InstitutionsSan Carlos City has and maintains its own division of the same name. Established in 1967, the division has as its watchwords "Karunungan, Kalusugan, at Kagandahang-Asal" (Knowledge, Health, and Right Conduct). The San Carlos City Division Office, part of the Doña Eva Macapagal School Complex, is the biggest division office in Region I. The division engages in literacy improvement and is one of the region's top-performing divisions.
