History
The town of Angadanan was initially founded in the mid-18th century on the site of a Gaddang settlement in what is present-day Nueva Vizcaya, between the towns of Bagabag and Bayombong. It took its name from Gaddanan, the local chief. In 1776, Spaniards decided to move the settlement further north in present-day Isabela province along the Ganano river, a tributary of the Cagayan River. In the 19th century, the Spaniards decided to move the town again six kilometers further east to its present location along the Cagayan River to facilitate better transportation links and to secure the town from repeated raids by the Igorots and Gaddangs. The second site was subsequently known as Angadanan Viejo (Old Angadanan) and the current site called Angadanan Nuevo (New Angadanan) until the former was converted into a separate municipality in 1949 named Alicia and the Nuevo was dropped from its official name.
