    Urdaneta, officially the City of Urdaneta, is a 2nd class city in the province of Pangasinan, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 132,940 people. It has a land area of 12,100 hectares. As Gateway to Northern Philippines, the city's strategic location is on the central part of eastern Pangasinan. Urdaneta City is among the most progressive cities in Northern Luzon in annual regular income beating all cities in Region 1. It is among the region's cleanest, greenest and most livable cities. Urdaneta is 182 kilometres (113 mi) from Manila and is 59 kilometres (37 mi) from the provincial capital, Lingayen. The first settlers of the area were Pangasinenses, followed by a migration of Ilocanos who settled in outlying areas. These settlers petitioned the Spanish government to allow them to form a separate pueblo for greater ties and stronger unity. Their petition was granted and Urdaneta was formally founded as a pueblo on January 8, 1858. There is uncertainty if it was named after Andrés de Urdaneta, Miguel de Urdaneta, or Simon de Urdaneta. Urdaneta became a city through Republic Act 8480, otherwise known as "An Act Converting the Municipality of Urdaneta, Province of Pangasinan into a Component City to be known as the City of Urdaneta". This was signed on January 10, 1998 and was voted affirmatively by the people of Urdaneta City on March 21, 1998.
