Sampaloc, officially the Municipality of Sampaloc, is a municipality in the province of Quezon, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 13,629 people. Sampaloc used to be the Barrio Dingin of Lucban, Quezon consisting of three sitios. It was later renamed into Sampaloc because of the presence of a large tamarind tree found in the center of the settlement during the earlier days. The name was also changed in Alfonso Trece or Alfonso XIII for a time, in honor the King of Spain, Alfonso XIII which reigned from 1886 to transfer of sovereignty of the Philippines from Spain to United States. In 1873, Capt. Pedro Cadelina of Lucban recommended to change the barrio into a municipality but due to lack of residents, it was only made into a “visita”. “Teniente Mayores” were appointed to head the ”visita”, the first of whom was from Polilio, followed by Arcadio Veluya, Laureano Nanola, Silverio Abueva and Juan Saludades.
