HISTORY  Big text  Big text

During the reign of the spaniards in the Philippine was the birth of a great municipality in Ilocos Norte. In no exact date, a foreigner that is present in a certain beach of that place became curious if where on earth he is. He met a fisherman and kindly asked what is the name of the place. Filipinos that time do not have the education to understand the language the foreigner did used. Te fisherman thought that the foreigner was asking if what is the name of the fish that he had in his boat. Confidently and kindly, he answered "bac- bacarra". Since then, the place was called bac- bacarra then later became the Municipality of Bacarra.
