Quezon Province was named in honor of President Manuel L. Quezon, who was born in Baler (now part of Aurora Province, which was separated from Quezon in 1979). Originally known as Tayabas Province, it was renamed in 1946 to honor the late president. The province played significant roles in both the Philippine Revolution and World War II, with various towns serving as centers of resistance. The rich historical heritage is preserved in numerous Spanish-era churches and ancestral homes throughout the province.
