LUCBAN has legendary story. Lucban derived its named from Lucban a Pomelo tree originating from three hunters from Majayjay, Laguna who came from a plain at the northeastern foot of Mt. Banahaw. They had low their way following the trail of some wild animals. While resting under the shade of verdant tree, they saw up a black bird named "uwak or crow". Believing of its bad omen, they immediately transferred to another place where the present Poblacion is now located. Resting once more under shade village leafy tree known as "Lucban or Pomelo tree", the hunters namely Marcos Tigla, Luis Gumba and Lucas Nañawa were attracted by the couple of birds singing at the top of the tree. The trio were much fascinated by the rhythmic chirps and the multi-colored birds which were known as "salaksak" or kingfisher. The superstitious hunters took the singing birds as a sign of good fortune and so they finally decided to call the place LUCBAN and make it their permanent home.

The name LUCBAN was attributed to the following possible reasons: these many Lucban trees in this place, the birds of good fortune perched on the branch of the Lucban tree where the town is named after; and because they sated their hunger and thirst with the Lucban fruit.

The people of Lucban accepted the story as true. Marcos Tigla was the first governadorcillo of the town in the year 1596. Luis Gumba succeeded him the next year after and Lucas Nañawa later took over the responsibility for a period of four years.
