Migrano, Capitan Felipe Cacho Valerio, and other municipal<br />
officials of Bolinao, the Alcalde came to Cabarruyan to<br />
choose a suitable location for the town site. They agreed<br />
on Segat in the center of the island which is now known<br />
as Namagbagan. The site for the plaza, church, town hall,<br />
convent, cemetery, and streets were laid out on January 20,<br />
1850 by order of the Alcalde.<br />

There is an island<br />
– Tanduyong –<br />
almost a kilometer<br />
away which can be<br />
reached on foot<br />
during low tide.<br />
Anda was once a part<br />
of the municipality of<br />
Bolinao.<br />
The town is accessible<br />
through land<br />
transportation. Two main<br />
bus companies serve<br />
commuters to and from<br />
Anda to Manila or neighboring towns and cities. These are<br />
Dagupan Bus Co., Inc. and Pangasinan Five Star Bus Co.<br />
Mini buses and jeepneys are also available for commuters<br />
going to neighboring towns and cities, like Alaminos and<br />
Dagupan.<br />
In the past, progress in the town was sluggish due to its<br />
dependence to a landing barge to cross the Catubig Channel<br />
separating Anda to mainland Bolinao. In 1996, trade has<br />
increased due to a bridge connecting the municipality to the<br />
mainland. This bridge, known as Anda Bridge, was sponsored<br />
and inaugurated by then President Fidel V. Ramos, who hails<br />
from Pangasinan province. Main roads have been concreted for<br />
faster access to the barangays, especially tourism related places.
