San Luis, officially the Municipality of San Luis (Tagalog: Bayan ng San Luis), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Batangas, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 36,172 people.[3]
No reliable information could be gathered as to why the town is called San Luis. However, some people believe that it was named as such because it was established during the feast of Saint Louis.[5][6]
San Luis was historically part of Taal. It was established as an independent town on August 25, 1861. However, in 1903,[7] due to small income, the town was made a part of Taal once again, with all the barrios in existence retaining their names, while the town center (poblacion) was reverted to its Spanish-era name Balibago. On February 2, 1918, San Luis was re-established.[8]
In 1961, the barrios of Pacifico and Sampa were separated from San Luis and annexed to the new municipality of Santa Teresita.[9]
According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the municipality has a land area of 42.56 square kilometers (16.43 sq mi) [10], constituting 1.36% of the 3,119.75-square-kilometer (1,204.54 sq mi) total area of Batangas.
San Luis is politically subdivided into 26 barangays.[11] Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.
