Pangasinan was officially conquered and colonized by D.Martin de Goite in 1571. It has always been known in historical accounts as Pangasinan meaning "where salt is made". Governor General Ronquillo de Peñalosa formally created Pangasinan as a province in 1850, making the province as one of the earliest political and administrative units in the Philippines.
Its territorial jurisdiction at that time included the present province of Zambales and parts of La Union and Tarlac. Lingayen was designated and remains up to the present as the provincial capital. Binalatongan, now San Carlos City was the largest town both in size and population. Dagupan,then a sitio of Lingayen was converted into a regular town in 1590. It was the converging place of supporters of the rebellion led by Andres Malong in 1660.
