**Pagsanjan** ([/ˈpəɡsənhɑːn/](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English) [*PAG-sang-han*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Pronunciation_respelling_key)), officially the **Municipality of Pagsanjan** ([Tagalog](/source/Tagalog_language): *Bayan ng Pagsanjan*), is a [municipality](/source/Municipality_of_the_Philippines) in the [province](/source/Provinces_of_the_Philippines) of [Laguna](/source/Laguna_(province)), [Philippines](/source/Philippines). According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 45,602 people.[5]

It is known as the tourist capital of Laguna and is the home of the Bangkero Festival held every March. The *bangkeros* are tour guides who steer boats along the river to [Pagsanjan Falls](/source/Pagsanjan_Falls) (also called Magdapio Falls), for which the town is well known but is actually in neighboring [Cavinti](/source/Cavinti).[6][7]

The municipality was the capital of the province of Laguna for 170 years (from 1688 to 1858), during which the town prospered as the commercial, cultural and learning center of the province.[8]

## Etymology

Pagsanjan is located in the [riparian](/source/Riparian_zone) delta formed by the [confluence](/source/Confluence) of the Balanac and Bumbungan [rivers](/source/Rivers). Originally called *Pinágsangahán* ("branching" or "juncture"), the name was shortened to "Pagsanjan" by early Spanish colonists because they found it very difficult to pronounce.

## History

National historical marker installed at the town arch in 1953

In 1668, eight Japanese and Chinese traders, highly impressed by the barrio's strategic location at the junction of the [Balanac](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Balanac_River&action=edit&redlink=1) and [Bumbungan](/source/Bumbungan_River) rivers, founded the town. They established a trading settlement and engaged in the [betel nut](/source/Betel_nut_chewing) industry. In time, the barrio became the flourishing trading center of eastern [Laguna](/source/Laguna_(province)) and attracted families from the surrounding communities of Cavinti and [Pila](/source/Pila%2C_Laguna). On December 12, 1668, then-Governor-General [Juan Manuel de la Peña Bonifaz](/source/Juan_Manuel_de_la_Pe%C3%B1a_Bonifaz) issued a decree elevating its status to a town. In 1688, Pagsanjan replaced [Bay](/source/Bay%2C_Laguna) as the capital of the province. It remained such until 1858.[9] The 1818 Spanish census recorded the area as having 1,785 native families and 7 Spanish-Filipino families (newly immigrated from Spain).[10]: 507
