==History== 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.
