Tarlac City, officially the City of Tarlac (Kapampangan: Lakanbalen ning Tarlac; Pangasinan: Siyudad na Tarlac; Ilocano: Ciudad ti Tarlac, Tagalog: Lungsod ng Tarlac), is a first class and capital city of the province of Tarlac in the Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 342,493 people.
Tarlac City was proclaimed a Highly Urbanized City under President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, but the decision was opposed by the provincial government.
The city is situated at the center of the province. To its north is Gerona and Santa Ignacia, west is San Jose, south is Capas and Concepcion and eastern boundaries are Victoria and La Paz. This is also the location of Tarlac River.
Tarlac City is approximately 24 metres (79 ft) above sea level on some parts but reaching even 50 metres (160 ft) on large western portions. Tarlac City was historically a part of what is now Porac, Pampanga. Parts of Tarlac city are claimed to be among the few portions of land in the province which was not created by ancient eruptions from Mount Pinatubo.
Tarlac City is politically subdivided into 76 barangays.
