15. HISTORY OF BARANGAY
DILAN-PAURIDO
During the early times, people, merchants and traders from nearby places and provinces come to Urdaneta
to barter, trade and commerce. They loved Urdaneta so much and most of them settled here permanently.
They brought with them their families, belongings, farm, animals and horses.
Early settlers became farmers, cattle traders and herders, hacienderos and wealthy traders. They developed
Urdaneta into a small, beautiful and vibrant town. Soon, it became the center of agriculture, trade and
commerce. Since horses and cattle are the main mode of trading and transportation at the time, they seek
land to pasture their farm animals, cattle and horses. They took their horse to a nearby place where grasses
are luscious and bountiful, where then became their grazing land.
During the time of the early colonizers, the Spaniards the “Administrator” of Urdaneta. They too brought
their horses to the pasture land to rest and to feed.
When the Americans took over the Philippines from Spain, they explored further North and stopped by
Urdaneta to rest, replenish their food supply and feed their horses. Every time they drop by going North, the
Americans are often heard said, “Take your horses to the pasture land to grace”.
Soon pasture land became a household word of local folks. Cattle traders and herders ordered their animal
keepers to take their cattle herds to pasture land,
As years passed by, Ilocano became the dominant spoken dialect of Urdaneta and land of pasture became
known today as DILAN-PAURIDO. Dilan is derived from the word “The Land” and Paurido is from the
word “Pasture”. Today Dilan-Paurido is thriving and busting community not only in agriculture but
commercial and industrial as well.
