Republic Act No. 1229 Creating the Municipality of San Nicolas

Batangas History

1 Feb, 2018

The present-day lakeshore town of San Nicolas in Batangas used to be the site of old Taal, until the violent and prolonged eruption of the volcano forced the relocation of the latter to its present site closer to Balayan Bay. Until 1955, San Nicolas used to be part of Taal itself. In the present day, San Nicolas is among the smallest geopolitical units of Batangas with a land area of 14.37 square kilometers and a population of just 22,623 as per the 2015 Philipppine Census¹.

Below are the contents of the Republic Act which formally separated several barrios of Taal in 1955 to become the new municipality of San Nicolas²:
