History

San Luis was historically part of Taal. It was established as an independent town on August 25, 1861. However, in 1903, due to small income, the town was made a part of Taal once again, with all the barrios in existence retaining their names, while the town center (''poblacion'') was reverted to its Spanish-era name Balibago. On February 2, 1918, San Luis was re-established. In 1961, the barrios of Pacifico and Sampa were separated from San Luis and annexed to the new municipality of Santa Teresita.
