History

Alaminos originated as a barrio of San Pablo, which was then a town in the province of Batangas. It was initially known as Trenchera, a name referring to the presence of long and deep ravines in the area. The early inhabitants of Trenchera were believed to be insurrectionists, and possibly fugitives, who used these natural trenches as hiding places and as defense against Spanish authorities.

Sometime in 1873 when a certain Don Andres Penaloza was the Gobernadorcillo (equivalent to Mayor) of the town of San Pablo, Trenchera was formally separated and became a pueblo or town but remained part of the Batangas. Don Cirilo Baylon, a wealthy resident of Trenchera and with good command of the Spanish language, invited Captain-General Juan de Alaminos Nivera, the Chief Executive of the Batangas. The Captain-General accepted the invitation and came in a colorful carriage drawn by two horses. With Baylon leading, he was warmly received by the residents of Trenchera. Dona Gregoria Baylon, the younger sister of Cirilo presented bouquets of fresh flowers to the Captain-General.
