History
San Pascual was historically part of Bauan and was known as "Lagnas". The name is derived from the local dialect means river boundaries, which describes the municipality being geographically located between the Lagnas and Hagonoy Rivers. The barrio of Lagnas was then renamed after the Roman Catholic saint, San Pascual De Baylon by its religious population and congregation. Naming the place after a Patron Saint was believed to bring good luck and prosperous future. Thus, the barrio of San Pascual became the Parish of San Pascual de Baylon, with the said saint as its Patron Saint, sometime in 1959.
In 1954, Caltex inaugurated the Batangas Refinery in the area, the first petroleum refinery in the Philippines. This contributed to the town's continuous growth. Eventually, the Bauan was partitioned once again and San Pascual became an independent municipality in 1969 because of the strong leadership of Mayor Leonardo “Leoning” Mendoza. He is the father and founder of San Pascual, Batangas, his hometown.
