Infanta, officially the Municipality of Infanta (Pangasinan: Baley na Infanta; Iloko: Ili ti Infanta; Babali nin Infanta; Filipino; Pilipino: Bayan ng Infanta), is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Pangasinan, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 26,242 people.
Infanta is from Lingayen, from Iba, and from Manila.
Infanta got its name from a word that means "young," as it was an "offspring" created out of Santa Cruz, Zambales.
On October 4, 1876, Infanta, originally a barrio, was created out of Santa Cruz, Zambales to become an independent municipality by virtue of a Superior Decree by the Spanish colonial government.[1] Infanta was repopulated by the Ilocano settlers from Paoay, Ilocos Norte.
On November 20, 1903, Infanta was separated from Zambales and was annexed to Pangasinan by virtue of Act No. 1004.[2]
Infanta is politically subdivided into 13 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.
The largest number of people of Infanta are Sambals, generally speak Pangasinan, Sambal, and Ilocano.
See main article: Sangguniang Bayan. Infanta, belonging to the first congressional district of the province of Pangasinan, is governed by a mayor designated as its local chief executive and by a municipal council as its legislative body in accordance with the Local Government Code. The mayor, vice mayor, and the councilors are elected directly by the people through an election which is being held every three years.
