History

Separation from Bauan
Historically, San Pascual was a part of Bauan and was referred to as "Lagnas." San Pascual became a separate municipality in 1969 due to Mayor Leonardo "Leoning" Mendoza's tenacious leadership. The name "Lagnas", which refers to the municipality's location physically between the Lagnas and Hagonoy Rivers, is derived from the local dialect and means "river boundaries."
Religious attributions
The religious populace and congregation therefore changed the name of the Lagnas neighborhood to San Pascual De Baylon in honor of the Roman Catholic saint. It was thought that naming a location after one of its patron saints would bring luck and a prosperous future. As a result, somewhere around 1959, the San Pascual neighborhood became the Parish of San Pascual de Baylon, with the aforementioned saint serving as its Patron Saint.
