Zambales was formerly
organized in 1572 after its exploration by Don Juan de Salcedo, the intrepid
Spanish explorer. The old province included the coastal towns from The name of the
province is derived from its earliest inhabitants, the Zambals.
They worship spirits called "anitos",
thus they were referred to as "Sambali"
from the Malay word samba, meaning "to worship". The term was later
Hispanicized to "Zambal". Among the
earliest towns are Masinloc, organized in 1607 and
it was the first provincial capital. The present capital Iba, was organized in 1611
and Sta. Cruz was formed a year later, in 1612. Bolinao, along with six
other towns in the northern portion of Zambales
(down to Infanta) were ceded to Pangasinan
in 1903, due to their proximity to Lingayen, the capital of Pangasinan.
