{{{{{{ Santa Rosa's historical past can be traced back to 1571 when Spanish Conquistadores Juan de Salcedo while exploring the Laguna Lake Region discovered the town of Binan, which was annexed as a barrio to Tabuco (now the town of Cabuyao).
Later in 1688, Bian together with Barrio Bukol (name of Santa Rosa before separation from Bian) separated from Cabuyao. After a series of renaming, separation of barrios to become independent towns, Barrio Bukol was politically emancipated in January 18, 1792 as the municipality of Santa Rosa. The town was named after Saint Rosa of Lima, Peru under whose protection and patronage it was consecrated which was validated by numerous material and spiritual blessings and favors bestowed on the town people for the last 207 years.
From a fourth class municipality with an average income of P4 million in 1986, Santa Rosa became a first class town when its income reached P54.2 million in 1993. In 1998, the town's annual revenue of P183.4 million further increased by 34.4 percent from the 1997 revenue due to intensified tax collection. Currently, the town enjoys the status of a major residential, commercial and industrial center in the CALABARZON sub-region, the most dynamic among government- identified priority growth centers in the country. }}}}}}}
