History

The first settlers of Anao are the Pangasinenses. They inhabited the area before 1800, followed by Ilocano immigrants from the Ilocos Region. In 1835, a group of immigrants from Paoay, Ilocos Norte reached the region and settled near a creek on the bank where there were balete trees. These immigrants called their settlement "Balete". The immigrants found that the region where they settled has many agricultural prospects and this attracted more immigrants who came from the north, especially from the town of Paoay. The settlement expanded and became a barrio named Balete which later changed to Barrio Anao deriving from the Ilocano word "Danao" which means creek. By that time, balete trees were extinguished and the barrio was adjacent in all directions by creeks. Paniqui then stood as one municipality and had a road extended toward the east to Barrio Anao. Paniqui had more rights to claim Anao as its barrio and the people of the barrio accepted the claim.
