Tingguians -in the interior,

Ilocanos- in the north

Pangasinense- in the south settled the region.

Insurrections (violent attempt)

• Andres Malong and Palaris of

Pangasinan,

• Diego Silang and his wife 

Gabriela Silang in 1764,• Basi Revolt in the 19th century.

However, it was the Pangasinenses in the

south who were the last to stand against the

Spaniards.

• The region came under American colonial rule in 1901, and under Japanese occupation in 1941.

• During 1945, the combined American and the Philippine Commonwealth troops including with the Ilocano and Pangasinese guerillas liberated the Ilocos Region from Japanese forces during the Second World War.

TerritorialWay back in 1572 when Juan de Salcedo

subjugated the Ilocos, its area extended up to towns of Cagayan in the northwest. Pangasinan likewise has a territorial jurisdiction that included the present province of Zambales and parts of Tarlac. By the later part of the 19th century, the territorial boundaries of these provinces were diminished when some towns were annexed to other neighboring provinces. In 1988, the area of Region I was further diminished when Abra, Mt. Province, Benguet and Baguio City became parts of the Cordillera Administrative Region. 

• It is composed of Four (4) provinces– Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union , and Pangasinan, nine (9) cities (Laoag and Batac in Ilocos Norte; Vigan and Candon in Ilocos Sur; San Fernando in La Union; and Urdaneta, Dagupan, San Carlos and Alaminos in Pangasinan); 116 municipalities, 3,245 barangayas , and 12 districts .   San Fernando City is the Regional Capital.

• NATURAL RESOURCES 

The region is a producer of food surplus - rice, corn, vegetables, root crops and fruits such as mangoes. It has abundant natural resources such as limestone for cement, feldspar for ceramics, fruits, vegetables, fish, poultry, and forest products such as bamboo and rattan. Other mineral resources include copper, gold, chromite, iron, manganese and silica. 

• It has one of the longest coastlines, aside from numerous rivers and streams. It has extensive fishing grounds and excellent prospects for fishpond cultivation.

• ECONOMY

Only one - seventh of the total local road network is paved, rural roads become impassable during the rainy season. While 90% of households have access to water facilities, these become scarce during summer and turbid during the wet season. At present, irrigation facilities cover only 52% of the total potential area for irrigation.

• Hydrological Features

Region I is drained by  29 river systems, aside from small mountain streams   that sometimes swell up to three times their sizes during the rainy season.  These rivers are valuable means of irrigation source. 

• The Agno River basin, with an area of 5,952 sq. km., the third largest river in Luzon,wherein its watershed includes the Pangasinan plain and extends up to the mountainous areas of Mountain Province and Benguet.  Agno River drains into the Lingayen Gulf.   The Amburayan River basin is also one of the biggest covering about 1,386 sq. km. in some parts of  Ilocos Sur, La Union and Benguet.  Laoag River basin covers an area of 1,319 sq. km.   Region I has an extensive coastline and its seacoasts are intended with bays and gulf. 

• Its discontinuous  coastline has a physical length of 708.165 kilometers , of which  150.18 km. are  stretched in Ilocos Norte, 157.63  km. stretched along Ilocos Sur, while 114.70 kms. in La Union and 285.66 kilometers  stretched in Pangasinan.   Pangasinan shares the longest coastline with about 40.34 percent while in La Union the least with only 16.2 percent.  The region’s total length of coastlines constitutes only about 2.08 percent of the total length of coastlines in the Philippines.

• Forest Resources

Forests are efficient watersheds which could regulate the flow of water supply, prevent flash floods and control soil erosion and water pollution.  These are the sources of wood and other forest products of great economic value, power and water.

• In the region, the current conditions of forests are adversely critical because majority of its resources were almost depleted.

• There were two categories of forest land in Region I: the classified and unclassified forest lands. The classified forest lands consisted of established forest reserves, established timberlands, national parks, military and civil reservations and developed fishponds. In 2008, the classified forest land covered about 41.14 percent of the total public forest land area in the region.  Of this coverage, the established forest reserves ranked the biggest with about 45.96 percent and were found mostly in Ilocos Norte; followed by the established timberlands (43.91%) which were mostly located in Pangasinan. The unclassified forest lands constituted the remaining 10  percent of the total area of public forest land in the region. About 78.95 percent of this was found in Ilocos Sur while the remaining areas were located in La Union and Pangasinan.
