Etymology

The town got its name after the name of the wife of Gen. Manuel Tino, Laureana.

History

Originally, the town was a barrio of the municipality of Bongabon, named San Esteban, after its patron saint, Stephen I of Hungary.

On January 13, 1917, via Executive Order No. 98 by then Governor-General Francis Burton Harrison, Laur was separated as its own town from Bongabon, and named from the wife of Gen. Manuel Tinio, Laureana. Gen. Tinio himself will have the town of Papaya named after him, as "General Tinio" in 1957. Laur borders General Tinio to the south.

Senators Benigno Aquino, Jr. and Jose W. Diokno were kept in solitary confinement for exactly thirty days in 1973 within Fort Magsaysay in Laur. It is now a museum and houses the AFP Center for Human Rights.
