History

Pre-colonial

San Carlos was already a prosperous community since pre-colonial times. It was formerly part of a town called "Binalatongan". Binalatongan was the capital of Luyag na Caboloan, an ancient kingdom, which includes the present-day provinces of Tarlac, Zambales, Nueva Ecija, La Union, Pangasinan, and Benguet) ruled by King Ari Kasikis. The name of Binalatongan was derived from the abundance of mongo (mung bean) plants along the San Juan riverbanks. During that time, Pangasinan traded with Japan, China and other Southeast Asian empires and national entities and enjoyed full independence and prosperity. ^{[citation needed]}

Caboloan is the name of the primitive Pangasinan dialect, of which its purest form was spoken by the natives of Binalatongan.^{[citation needed]}

In 1718, Binalatongan was renamed (the Municipality [town] of) San Carlos, after St. Charles Borromeo[5]
