The origin of Santiago City can be drawn from the first native settlement discovered by the early Spanish missionaries at the bank of the old Carig River (now Diadi River) from which its original name, Carig, was derived. The early inhabitants were the Gaddangs and the Ibanags. When the [[Spain|Spanish]] settled in, the city was named Pueblo of Santiago Apostol de Carig, with [[Santiago (name)|Santiago]] as the Spanish name of [[James, son of Zebedee|Saint James the Apostle]]. In the early 1950s, the Municipal President Vicente Carreon changed the name to simply Santiago. Santiago remained a municipality for 84 years.
