History
Alaminos was formerly part of Bolinao. It traces its roots to a barrio named Casborran (present-day barangay Baleyadaan), formerly part of Zambales. It eventually grew when people from Suyang (present-day barangay Zaragosa in Bolinao) relocated to the area in 1737.
In 1747, Casborran became an independent town. In 1758, it was razed by fire due to a political and economic conflict. In 1764, inhabitants tried to rebuild the town, but another conflict happened, making them leave for Nansangaan (present-day Barangay Inerangan). Two years later, they found refuge at a plateau in what is now the poblacion of Alaminos and renamed it Sarapsap. Ilocano settlers from Paoay, Ilocos Norte moved and stayed in the town, increasing the small population of the town in 1830.
It was renamed Alaminos in 1872, 12 years after the visit of the future Governor-General Juan Alaminos y Vivar, who was well loved by residents, to the thriving town.
On October 15, 1903, by virtue of Act No. 945, while still part of the Province of Zambales, the municipality of Alaminos was consolidated with the municipality of Alos, with the seat of the municipal government remaining at Alaminos.
On November 30, 1903, by virtue of Act No. 1004, the municipalities of Bolinao, Alaminos, San Isidro, and Infanta were annexed to the Province of Pangasinan.
