Etymology
editNo 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]
History
editSan 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]
Geography
editAccording 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.
