The history of the province of Laguna, (Lagoon in Spanish) and that of the Southern Tagalog region, dates as far back as 900 AD. The Laguna Copperplate Inscription is the oldest known written document found in the Philippines, which talks of its subject being released from a debt to the King of Tondo. Pre-Hispanic settlement in the area can be dated to prehistoric times, as evidenced in the names of towns such as Pila, Laguna, whose name can be traced to the straight mounds of dirt that form the boundaries of the rice paddy, or Pilapil.
A prominent figure during the time of pre-Hispanic contact is Gat Pangil, a chieftain in the area. The towns of Bay, Pangil, and Pakil were reputed to have once been a part of his domain, although accounts vary on who exactly Gat Pangil was.
Discovery
The Laguna Copperplate Inscription was found in 1989 near the mouth of the Lumbang River near Laguna de Bay by a man who was dredging sand to turn into concrete. Suspecting that the artifact might have some value, the man sold it to an antique dealer who, having found no buyers, eventually sold it to the National Museum of The Philippines, where it was assigned to Alfredo E. Evangelista, head of the Anthropology department. The National Museum refers to the artifact as the Laguna Copper Plate.
A year later, Antoon Postma noted that the inscription was similar to the ancient Indonesian script of Kawi. Postma translated the script and found the document dated itself to the Saka year 822, an old Hindu calendar date that corresponds to the year 900. It is from about the same time as the mention of the Philippines in the official Chinese Song dynasty History song for the year 972

Ang Laguna de Bay naman, ay isinunod sa pangalan ng bayan ng Bay (Ang salitang Laguna de Bay ay hango sa salitang Kastila na nangangahulugang "Lawa ng Bay"), ang pinakaunang punong bayan ng lalawigan. Si Kapitan Juan de Salcedo kasama ng pulutong ng isang daang sundalong Kastilang-Mehikano at ilang bilang ng mga kakamping mga Bisaya ay sinakop ang lalawigan at ang mga nakapalibot na bahagi para sa Espanya noong 1571.
