According to the 2010 census, it has a population of 50,983 people.〔 As an agricultural town, Santo Domingo is famous for its scenic agricultural landscape amid its Philippine duck raising industry. In Barangay Baloc along the Maharlika Highway is the Mariano Noriel landmark park and plaza. It is bordered by the municipalities of Talavera and Quezon. ==Etymology and history== During the last quarter of the 17th century, Ilocos and Bulacan natives migrated to Sto. Domingo. They found in the settlement buri palms. Therefore, these people called the site, Pulong Buli. Sto. Domingo de Guzman became their Patron saint. The settlement became a Municipio but was later demoted to a mere barangay of Talavera, Nueva Ecija in 1903. It was later reverted to the political status of Municipality. The Alejos, Juans, Samatras, Salamancas, Andreses, Pascuals and Tomases were the descendants of the founders of the town.〔(Sto.

Following the Allied liberation in 1945, over 4,500 Filipino soldiers and guerrillas had been killed or wounded, and 29,000 Japanese troops killed or captured in action. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Santo Domingo, Nueva Ecija」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
