In 2009, it was announced that the Alaminos Airport would be built near the city as a commercial airport for Pangasinan province.[6] However, the timeline for construction of the airport has repeatedly slipped; as of 2015, the project is in limbo.[7]
History
Alaminos was formerly part of Bolinao, known as Barrio Casborran, formerly the part of Zambales. In 1747, it became an independent town.[8]
The Communist Party of the Philippines was founded by Jose Maria Sison in the remote barangay of Dulacac on December 26, 1968.[9]
Alaminos was badly hit in May 2009 by Typhoon Emong which damaged many houses in the city, including the roof of the main church. Due to this, several organizations had requested donations and aid to help in restoring the town back to its former self.[10]
Cityhood
By virtue of Republic Act 9025, signed by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on March 5, 2001, Alaminos was converted into a city after 85% of the voters favored the ratification in a plebiscite held on March 28, 2001.[8][11]
