It was founded by the Spanish government in the year 1752, and was carved from its mother town, Meycauayan, because Meycauayan that time was thickly populated. It became a city in the year 2000 through the efforts of the then-Congressman Angelito Sarmiento (who served as Secretary of Agrarian Reform in 2002 and presidential adviser on Agricultural Modernization; he is also a native of San Jose del Monte) and the local government of San Jose del Monte.
