Santa Ana (Cagayan)
Santa Ana is a town in the Philippine province of Cagayan and is located in the extreme north- east of the province. In 2010, she counted 30 458 inhabitants. Originally the area was almost completely inhabited by Negritos. Only at the end of the 19th century also found other peoples a home here. In 1949, Santa Ana got the status of a municipality.
To the west are long white beaches and a large rice - growing area. The forest inventory is very limited here by the ongoing deforestation. In the east, however, the land falls steeply into the water and is more wooded. The municipal area includes the large island Palaui in the north and a lighthouse. The population lives mostly from the agriculture, forestry and fisheries.
