History

The Municipality of Alitagtag was once a group of registered barangays under the jurisdiction of the municipality of Bauan, Batangas. These barangays are Alitagtag, Balagbag, Dalipit, Munlawin and Muzon.

It was August 10, 1908 when the resolution by all the voting population of the barangays was passed to the Provincial Committee for approval. The resolution was approved by the committee three months after.

Galicano Apacible, then governor of Batangas Province, endorsed the approved resolution to the Civil Commission for hearing. The Civil Commission then headed by Executive Secretary Carpio heard the resolution January 2, 1909. 

By virtue of an Executive Order issued on the 7th day of May 1909, Alitagtag became a municipality on the 1st day of January 1910. 

From then on, Alitagtag has grown and developed to its present state looking forward to a peaceful and sustainable future.
