HISTORY OF PANIQUI
The Birth Of Paniqui Could Be Traced Way Back In 1712 When The Provincial Government Of Pangasinan Sent A Group Of Men South Of Bayambang, Pangasinan For The Expansion Of The Christian Faith. The Pioneering Group Was Led By Two Brothers, Raymundo And Manuel Paragas Of Dagupan And Established The Local Government In A Sitio Called “Manggang Marikit” (Mango Of An Unmarried Woman) Now Part Of Guimba, Nueva Ecija. Surprisingly, In This Sitio, There Is A Great Number Of Mammals Called By Ilocanos “Pampaniki” And It Was From This Term That The Name Paniqui Was Derived.
