==Etymology== left|thumb|Casuarina equisetifolia|Whistling pine locally known as Aroo or Agoho tree The name "Agoo" is believed to have originated from a native tree locally known as "aroo" in Ilocano and "agoho" in Tagalog (Casuarina equisetifolia), commonly referred to as the whistling pine. This pine-like evergreen species is known for its slender, needle-like foliage and the distinctive whistling sound produced by the wind passing through its branches. Historically, the tree grew abundantly along the riverbanks and the forested western coastline of Agoo, playing a significant role in the town's natural landscape. Its prevalence in the region is thought to have influenced the naming of the town.
