Lumban, officially the Municipality of Lumban (Tagalog: Bayan ng Lumban), is a municipality in the province of Laguna, Philippines. According to the 2020 Census, it has a population of 32,330 people.[5]
Lumban, one of Laguna's oldest towns, is located approximately 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) from Santa Cruz, 94 kilometres (58 mi) southeast of Manila, and 55 kilometres (34 mi) north of Lucena. It derives its name from Aleurites moluccanus, a tree locally known as "lumbang."[7] The province's capital town, Santa Cruz, as well as Cavinti and Pagsanjan, were once part of Lumban. The river in which the Laguna Copperplate Inscription was found runs through the town.
Lumban is home to Lake Caliraya, an artificial lake popular with nature lovers and sports enthusiasts. It is known as the "Embroidery Capital of the Philippines,"[2] where fine Jusi and Piña cloth are hand-embroidered, with the finished product used for the barong tagalog worn by men and the saya (~skirt) worn by women in a baro't saya outfit. Lumban is also known for its diverse range of shoes, sandals, slippers, and step-in designs made from local materials. These are commonly sold in shopping malls in Metro Manila, often at higher prices than in Laguna.[citation needed]
