BRIEF HISTORY:

 

 

San Luis got its name from its patronal saint San Luis Rey de Francia.

 

In 1959, Quezon Congressman Manuel S. Enverga sponsored House Bill NO. 2863. On June 21, 1959, Republic Act No. 2452 was enacted into law creating the municipal district of San Luis. The barrios of San Luis, Bacong, and Ditumabo were separated from the municipality of Baler and were constituted into what was known as the municipal district of San Luis.

 

On June 16, 1962, Republic Act No. 3487 was signed into law by President Diosdado P. Macapagal converting the municipality district of San Luis into a regular municipality.

 

Cesario A. Pimentel served as the first mayor appointed in 1959. Rosauro R. Tangson became the first elected mayor who served from 1960 to 1964.
