Quezon,[a] officially the Province of Quezon , is a province in the Philippines located in the Calabarzon region on Luzon. Kaliraya/Kalilayan was the first known name of the province upon its creation in 1591. Around the middle of the 18th century, it was changed to Tayabas.[11] In recognition of the second president of the Philippines, Manuel L. Quezon, the name of Tayabas Province is changed to Quezon.[12] Lucena, the provincial capital, the seat of the provincial government, and the most populous city of the province, is governed independently from the province as a highly urbanized city. To distinguish the province from Quezon City, it is sometimes called Quezon Province, a variation of the province's official name. <
