History
Lian was founded in 1760 by Chinese traders who settled in the area. There was no other information regarding the other settlers. Nevertheless the later 1818 Spanish census recorded there to be 629 native and Chinese families living in harmony with 7 Spanish-Filipino families.
On March 28, 1903, Lian was merged with the municipality of Nasugbu. On December 28, 1914, Governor-General Francis Burton Harrison signed Executive Order No. 127, separating Lian from Nasugbu to restore its independent municipality status effective January 1, 1915 by first mayor Kapitan Isko.
