History
Under the Republic Act No. 3493, barrios were taken from Atimonan, Quezon to constitute the Municipality of Plaridel. These barrios include Siain, Ilosong, Concepcion, Duhat, and Tanauan. As the Act decreed, Siain became the seat of government.
The Act was based on House Bill No. 822 introduced by Congressman Eladio A. Caliwara who was then representing the Second District of Quezon. It was signed in June 1962 by Philippine president Diosdado Macapagal enacting it as a law.
The Municipality of Plaridel was inaugurated on October 27, 1962.
