Burgos, officially the Municipality of Burgos (Pangasinan: Baley na Burgos; Ilocano: Ili ti Burgos; Sambal: Babali nin Burgos; Tagalog: Bayan ng Burgos), is a municipality in the province of Pangasinan, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 23,749 people.
Burgos is located in the western part of Pangasinan, along the coast of the West Philippine Sea. It was founded as an independent town in 1830 by the early Ilocanos from Paoay, Ilocos Norte headed by Don Matias Guiang. As the settlement became more populated and extensive, Don Guiang initiated a petition to the Governor of Zambales to create a new town out of the settlement. The request was granted and the new town was first named San Isidro before being renamed Burgos, after the Filipino martyr priest who was executed in 1872.
The town of Burgos was ceded by the Philippine Commission to the Province of Pangasinan by virtue of Act No. 1004 dated November 30, 1903.
