Sto. Domingo is one of the 18 barangays of the progressive municipality of Anao. It is located along the provincial road; more or less 5 to 6 kilometers away from the Mc. Arthur Highway. It covers a land area of 51,670 sq. meters. It has a population of 371 with a total of 68 households based on the 2002 census. The primary means of livelihood is farming. Fifteen percent (15%) of its constituents comprises the white-collar job workers. Some are engaged in small-scale business like sari-sari store. Additional income is derived from backyard piggery/poultry raising.

It is bounded on the north by Brgy. Hernando, in the south by Cadaanan ricefields, in the east by Brgy. Don Ramon, and in the west by Brgy. San Jose South.

Anao is originally composed of nine (9) old barrios, one of which is San Juan-Sto. Domingo. By virtue of a Municipal Council Resolution, duly approved by the Provincial Board of Tarlac, Sto. Domingo became an independent and separate barrio in 1968.

The first settlers to arrive in barrio Sto. Domingo were those coming from Paoay, Ilocos Norte, perhaps, the reason why residents of the barrio are almost Ilocanos.

According to Senior Citizens of Brgy. Sto. Domingo as well as old folks from other barangays or adjacent barangays, Sto. Domingo is derived from the name of Saint Dominic, the first saint whom the old Aglipayan folks of the barrio recognized.
