Narvacan, officially the Municipality of Narvacan (Ilocano: Ili ti Narvacan; Filipino: Bayan ng Narvacan), is a municipality in the province of Ilocos Sur, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 46,265 people. A Spanish expeditionary force sent from Vigan by the military officer and navigator, Captain Juan de Salcedo was shipwrecked along the town's coast in 1576. When they were being rescued by the natives, the Spaniards asked the natives what the name of their place was. The resident's leader replied in an Ilocano dialect by asking the Spaniards, "Nalbakan?" (Are you shipwrecked?). The Spaniards thought this to be the answer to their question, and from then, the place was referred to as Narvacan. More information...
