History
Mapandan was a former mere barrio part of Municipality of Mangaldan. It was also once called “balon baley” which means new town in the local vernacular.
Mapandan was first established as a “pueblo” by virtue of Direction General No. 39 Administration Civil No. 169-C signed by Governor General Emilio Bravo on December 28, 1887. The town originally comprised the southernmost barrios of the town of Mangaldan namely: Payapay, Baloling, Apaya, and Amanoaoac
The idea of organizing a separate town from its mother town Mangaldan was first conceived by some ten (10) local leaders in the persons of Antonio Morales, Sabino Prado, Andres Bongato, Ambrosio Calimlim, Valeriano Tamondong, Tomas Aquino, Fulgencio Nato, Filomeno Sarmiento, Jose Lalas and Florencio Datuin. It later came into fruition when Philippine Commission Act No. 332 was enacted on January 21, 1902, excising barrios Mapandan, Amanwawak, Apaya, Balolin, Luyan, and Nilimbot from Mangaldan to form the new municipality.
