Like in other town in the ancient province of Ilocos, San Nicolas was established by Augustinian missionaries. The present name of San Nicolas was given in the year 1733, after Saint Nicholas de Tolentino who was believed to have protected the people against floods, earthquakes, fires, typhoons and other calamities. It is significant that in Ilocos Norte, only San Nicolas was named after a Saint.

From St. Williams Church, we proceeded to San Nicolas to see its church. On board the kalesa we hired earlier that day, we crossed the Gilbert Bridge towards the other town. It was fun sight-seeing the city riding the kalesa since the speed was slower and the view is panoramic. On the way, we passed by Mall 365. The kalesa ride going to the town was less 20 minutes.
