'''Pagsanjan''' (pronounced ''PAG-sang-han''), officially the '''Municipality of Pagsanjan''' ({{langx|tl|Bayan ng Pagsanjan}}), is a [[municipality of the Philippines|municipality]] in the [[Philippine Province|province]] of [[Laguna (province)|Laguna]], [[Philippines]]. According to the {{PH wikidata|population_as_of}}, it has a population of {{PH wikidata|population_total}} people.{{PH wikidata|population_reference}}

It is known as the tourist capital of Laguna and is the home of the Bangkero Festival held every March. The ''bangkeros'' are tour guides who steer boats along the river to [[Pagsanjan Falls]] (also called Magdapio Falls), for which the town is well known but is actually in neighboring [[Cavinti]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://pagsanjan.gov.ph/|title=Pagsanjan, Laguna – The Tourist Capital of Laguna|language=en-US|access-date=2020-01-17}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.philstar.com/2009/03/26/451669/pagsanjan-bangkero-festival-set|title=The Philippine Star|access-date=2020-01-17}}</ref>

The municipality was the capital of the province of Laguna for 170 years (from 1688 to 1858) during which the town prospered as the commercial, cultural and learning center of the province.<ref>[http://www.pagsanjan.gov.ph/touristinfo_pastandpresent.htm Pagsanjan Official Site] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110727024100/http://www.pagsanjan.gov.ph/touristinfo_pastandpresent.htm |date=2011-07-27 }}</ref>

==Etymology==
Pagsanjan is located in the [[Riparian zone|riparian]] delta formed by the [[confluence]] of the Balanac and Bumbungan [[rivers]]. Originally called ''Pinágsangahán'' ("branching" or "juncture"), this was shortened to "Pagsanjan" by early Spanish colonists because they found the name very difficult to pronounce.

==History==
{{Unreferenced section|date=July 2017}}
[[File:Pagsanjan PHC historical marker.webp|thumb|left|upright|National historical marker installed at the town arch in 1953]]

In 1668, eight Japanese and Chinese traders, who were highly impressed by the strategic location of the barrio at the juncture of [[Balanac]] and [[Bumbungan]], rivers founded the town. They established a trading settlement and engaged in the [[Betel nut chewing|betel nut]] industry. In time, the barrio became the flourishing trading center of eastern [[Laguna (province)|Laguna]] and attracted families from the surrounding communities of [[Cavinti]] and [[Pila, Laguna|Pila]]. On December 12, 1668, then-Governor-General [[Juan Manuel de la Peña Bonifaz]] issued a decree elevating its status to a town. In 1688, Pagsanjan replaced [[Bay, Laguna|Bay]] as the capital of the province. It remained such until 1858.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://pagsanjan.gov.ph/|title=Pagsanjan, Laguna – The Tourist Capital of Laguna|language=en-US|access-date=January 17, 2020}}</ref>
