Burgos, officially the Municipality of Burgos (Pangasinan: Baley na Burgos; Ilocano: Ili ti Burgos; Sambal: Babali nin Burgos; Tagalog: Bayan ng Burgos), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Pangasinan, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 23,749 people.[3]
On the western part of Pangasinan, along the coast of the China Sea lies a town called - Burgos, perched on a broad plateau.
Burgos was founded as an independent town in 1830 by the early Ilocanos from Paoay, Ilocos Norte headed by Don Matias Guiang. As the settlement grew thickly populated and extensive, Don Matias Guiang led a petition to the Governor of Zambales to create a new town out of the settlement. The request was granted and the new town was named San Isidro which was finally renamed Burgos, after the Filipino martyr priest who was executed during the Spanish regime.
The town of Burgos was ceded to the Province of Pangasinan by virtue of Act No. 1004 dated November 30, 1903 of the Philippine Commission.
