ALAMINOS began as a barrio of San Pablo City which was then only a town belonging to the province of Batangas. It's initial name was TRENCHERA denoting the presence of long and deep ditches. The early inhabitants of Trenchera were believed to be INSURECTOS and possibly fugitives who took advantage of the numerous trenches for hiding as well as defense against Spanish Authority.

Sometime in 1873 when a certain DON ANDRES PEÑALOZA was the gobernadorcillo (equivalent of mayor) of the town of San Pablo, Trenchera was formlly separated and became a pueblo or town but remained part of the province of Batangas.

DON CIRILO BAYLON, a wealhy resident of Trenchera and with a good command of Spanish language invited Captain-General JUAN DE ALAMINOS NIVERA, the chief executive of the province of Batangas whose capital seat was Lipa. The Captain-General accepted the invitation and came in colorful carriage drawn by two horses. With DON CIRILO BAYLON leading, he was warmly received by the residents of Tranchera. DOÑA GREGORIA BAYLON, the younger sister of Don Cirilo Baylon presented bouquet of fresh flowers to the Captain-General.

During the program in honor of the Captain-General and his party, Don Cirilo Baylon presented the petition of the residents asking the TRENCHERA be made into a duly organized and recognized town. The petition was read in public and the Captain General gave assurance to consider their wish favorably. In less than two months the official paper proclaiming TRENCHERA as a new pueblo or two came from Lipa, then the seat of power of the province of Batangas.

At the same time, DON CIRILO BAYLON was appointed the first gobernadorcillo or town mayor in concurrent capacity as Captain de los Constables de Pueblo or the equivalent of the local police chief. In appreciation to CAPTAIN-GENERAL DE ALAMINOS NIVERA, the new pueblo was named ALAMINOS in 1873 and remained part of the province of Batangas until 1903.

Towards the end of the Filipino revolution against Spain and the subsequent American military rule in 1900, there was no gobernadorcillo. Alaminos revolted against Spain and fought the Americans. Notable among the town's revolutionaries were Don Andres Roxas, Leodegario Avenido, Marcelino Fule and many more.

In 1900, the american military authority appointed Don Nicomedes Flores as overseer of the town 1900-1902 and was followed by Don Rafael Baylon who served until 1903. At this time, ALAMINOS was re-annexed as barrio of San Pablo which was then ceded to the province of Laguna in 1902. It was not until about 1916 that Alaminos regained its status as town and remained within the political territory of LAGUNA.

In the postwar era following the end of the World War II and after the granting of political independence in 1946 by the Americans.

The religious Patron of Alaminos is NUESTRA SEÑORA DEL PILAR and its town Fiesta is celebrated on October 12 of every year.

At present Alaminos has 15 Barangays: four at the town proper and eleven regular barrios. Based on May 08, 1995 election, the number of voters of Alaminos is 18,729 implying that its actual population is something like 36,458. It has a land area of 54.68 sq. km. and situated 78 kms. east of Manila. The town is moving from purely agricultural into an agro-industrial community with commitment to maintain wholesome ecological balance in the process of cautions transformation.
