Etymology

edit

The name of San Jose originates from its previous name as a barrio:San José de Malaquing TubigorSan José de Malaking Tubig.The first part of the name comes fromSpanishfor its patron saint,Saint Joseph,and Fr. Jose Victoria, the parish priest ofBauan Church,under which the town once fell. The second part, Malaquing Tubig or Malaking Tubig, translates to "big river" or literally "big water" inTagalog,referring to body of water that cuts through the area.

History

edit

TheAetaswere the first inhabitants of the place. They started clearing some portions of the wilderness especially in areas near the riverbanks. Several groups of settlers then drove this Aetas to the hinterlands and permanently occupied the place. They named it“Malaquing Tubig”which literally translates to "big river" referring to body of water that cuts through the central portion of their early settlement.

The Spaniards then colonized the Philippines in 1565.Bauanwas established in 1596 as an ecclesiastical unit administered by theOrder of Saint Augustinewith Malaquing Tubig as one of the barrios under its jurisdiction.

Human population of Malaquing Tubig started to grow and in 1754,Taal Volcanoerupted, destroying the original Bauan. And before its actual site could have been selected, Malaking Tubig was separated from Bauan. The recognized leaders of Malaquing Tubig then petitioned to the Spanish authorities for the creation of that place as a pueblo which was granted to them on April 26, 1765.

On April 26, 1765, the barrio or sitio was renamed asSan José de Malaquing Tubigby Fr. Jose Victoria, the parish priest ofBauan Churchwho presided aMassthere. This date is also noted as the day the residents petitioned to separate from Bauan and become an independent parish and town.

On December 11, 1766, the barrio was separated from Bauan and became a town named San Jose.[6]Ignacio de los Santos was named as its firstgovernadorcillocirca 1767. In the new town's establishment, it originally included the land that now makes upCuenca,which was separated to become an independent municipality in 1876 or 1877.[7][8]
