History
Based on the 1954 journal History and Cultural Life of Montalban and its Barrios, what would then be the town of Montalban was formerly the barrio of Balite under the jurisdiction of San Mateo during the Spanish period. San Mateo, with its large size, was partitioned on April 27, 1871, when Captain General Rafael Izquierdo issued a decree separating the barrios of Balite, Burgos, Marang and Calipahan from San Mateo and formed them into the new municipality of Montalban.
The town was then headed by its first parish priest Fr. Eustaquio Infante of Pasig, who led the dedication of the Most Holy Rosary parish church on June 2, 1871, in the term of Gregorio Melitón Martínez as Archbishop of Manila.
