Mankayan is a small municipality in the outskirts of Benguet with a population of not more than 50,000, at least according to the 2010 national census. The place is now a mining town although in the olden days, it is said to be a thickly forested area where hunters used to hunt deer. The name Mankayan is derived from a dialect word "Nangkayang" meaning 'way up to the eastern mountains'. The word soon evolved to Mankayan which is now how the place is called.
