Cauayan, Component city in Isabela Province, Philippines.
Cauayan is a component city situated on fertile plains where farmers grow rice, corn, and vegetables as the main agricultural activities. The flat terrain makes intensive farming possible and supports the region's economy.
The city was established in 1740 and still shows Spanish colonial influence in its stone church located in the town center. This period shaped the basic layout and architectural character of the settlement.
The Gaddang people are the original inhabitants of this region and continue to shape local life through their traditions and language. Their influence appears in how houses are built, how the land is farmed, and how communities gather together.
The city is easily accessible by car and has basic services for visitors including shops and accommodations. Those wanting to explore the rural surroundings should travel during daytime and consider hiring a local guide.
The city has its own airport that is planned for expansion into an international cargo hub, which will transform its role in regional trade. This infrastructure development sets it apart from other rural centers in the area.
