Description :
"La Union" means "the union".
Historically, the municipalities that comprise the province of La Union came from the other municipalities of the provinces of Ilocos Sur, Pangasinan and Benguet. They merged as one to create the province of La Union.
La Union is bounded on the east by the province of Benguet, on the north and northeast by Ilocos Sur, on the south by Pangasinan and the Philippine Sea on the west.
