San Francisco Del Monte

It was once an independent town during the Spanish era, but was later absorbed when Quezon City was created and expanded. Today it is a heavily populated district. Although it contains many residential areas such as Barangay San Antonio, there are many industrial facilities here, mostly found along Judge Juan Luna street.

It was founded on February 17, 1590. It was meant to be a place for retreat for residents in Intramuros in Manila. The street's old name (Retiro, now called N.S. Amoranto Sr. Avenue) came from the word retiro, meaning retreat, because it offers a place of solitude nestled atop a hill to many retreatants. The church located in San Francisco del Monte was the first building in the area. It is named after its benevolent Spanish friar and founder, St. Pedro Bautista.

When it was first founded, it was around 2.5 km² in area. It reached what is currently Project 7 and 8 and all the way out to Timog Ave area. Currently the town is comprised of Brgy. Paraiso, Paltok, Mariblu, Damayan and Del Monte.

Mayors

President Manuel L. Quezon acted as mayor from October 12 to November 4, 1939, pending the resignation from another position of his intended appointee, Tomas B. Morato. Since a president can, under Philippine law, hold multiple portfolios inferior to the position of president, Quezon took the position of mayor in a concurrent capacity. However, it is erroneous to view him as the first mayor, as a president holding a concurrent, lower, position is not listed in the roster of incumbents for those offices.
