Lingayen was established as the capital of Pangasinan when the province became an encomienda.Â
Lingayen's name came from the Pangasinan word ''lingawen,'' which means ''to look back,'' since the people of the town in the early days developed the habit of constantly looking back at a big tamarind tree growing in what is now the town's plaza.
The town is also historically significant, being the birthplace of former President Fidel V. Ramos.
