as “San Pablo de Los Montes” honoring the patron Saint Paul the First Hermit.
However, it was placed under the jurisdiction of Batangas province in 1576
fortunately in 1883. it was returned to Laguna.
San Pablo’s followers continued to work not only for their city’s progress but also for
their independence from the province of Laguna, all hoping to be an independent
city. It was until May 7, 1940 that the San Pablo was converted into an independent
city signed by President Manuel L. Quezon.

former governor of Laguna, as the city mayor appointed by president Manuel L.
Quezon.
