| | Aurora, Philippines - History |
 | | In 1591, Quezon (then named Kalilaya) was organized into a district that included a good portion of what now constitutes the Provinces of Laguna and Nueva Ecija. |
 | | In concert with the installation of the latter civil provincial government, the district of El Principe was transferred from the administrative jurisdiction of Nueva Ecija, which had controlled it since 1818, and placed under the jurisdiction of Tayabas. |
 | | It was Mayor Pedro V. Guerrero, with the prodding of Doña Aurora Aragon Quezon, who sought the creation of a Sub-Province of Aurora, named in honor of Doña Aurora, as a stop-gap measure to pave the way for the eventual creation of an independent province when the required number of municipalities was attained. |
