It is believed that the area was once owned by a Spaniard named Don Salvador who commanded his men to put up fences around his property. During the men’s work, they eat their packed lunch under camachile trees. When Don Salvador offered his pasture lands to immigrants from Ilocos, he said that the land is the place where people bring their “balon” to eat. It was then called Binnalonan, which means “a place where people bring and eat their “baon”.

Originally, Pozorrubio was a sitio of the town of San Jacinto, Pangasinan. The sitio was called Claris in honor of its founder – a legendary hero by the same name. On January 13, 1870, barrio Claris was converted to “pueblo” or town named Pozorrubio on account of the presence of a red well in the place. In Spanish, the word well is “pozo” and red is “rubio”; hence, the name “Pozorrubio” was coined
