Etymology
Manaoag came from the Pangasinan word "Mantaoag" which means "to call".
History
Manaoag as a settlement was used to be part of present-day San Jacinto in the early 1600s. Later, the Augustinians established a mission as Mission of Sta. Monica, while Dominicans also served the area.[5]
In 1972, Republic Act No. 6485 was issued wherein twenty barrios were organized as a separate municipality and the province's newest, named Laoac; however, it took long before the establishment was formalized in 1980.[6][7]

Culture
Our Lady of Manaoag
The town is a popular local pilgrimage site as it enshrines a 17th-century ivory statue of St Mary under the title of Nuestra Señora del Rosario de Manaoag ("Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag"). Legend has it that an unnamed man had a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who told him to have the shrine built. Famous souvenirs include candles, rosaries, and ampullae of blessed oil with flowers (which supposedly has healing properties), as well as less religious ones such as bagoóng monamon and tupig.
