Rosales

Rosales is a municipality in Pangasinan province with territory divided into multiple barangays that mix agricultural areas with residential neighborhoods. The landscape lies at a relatively low elevation and supports both farming and community settlements.

The municipality was established in 1852 through a royal decree during Spanish colonial administration. This founding shaped the settlement pattern and institutional framework that exist today.

The St. Anthony of Padua Parish Church remains central to community life and reflects the religious traditions that shape local customs. You can observe how people gather here for celebrations and daily spiritual practices.

The municipality is accessible via the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway or MacArthur Highway, offering flexible routes for travelers. Temperatures remain warm year-round in this tropical region.

Excavations in 2010 uncovered an ancient unfinished wooden boat near the Lagasit River. This discovery suggests that maritime activities once played an important role in this primarily agricultural area.
