San Pablo City is a 2nd class city in the province of Laguna, Philippines. It is one of the country's oldest cities. San Pablo was once part of the municipality of Bay. In 1756 it was placed under jurisdiction of Batangas Province but was returned in 1883 to Laguna. In 1940, through Approval of Commonwealth Act 520, it became one of the chartered cities of the Philippines. According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 207,927 people in 44,166 households but in 2005, Santa Rosa City surpassed it as the fourth largest city or town in Laguna, reducing it to fifth in rank after Calamba City, San Pedro, Biñan and Santa Rosa City.

The town is known as the "City of Seven Lakes" the most prominent being "Sampaloc Lake" which is located behind the City Hall. The lake has for many generations provided food and livelihood, leisure and respite for the citizens of the city. A bustling city of trade and commerce, it is also a center of education and learning with schools, colleges and training institutions.

However, at the end of the 20th century and the start of the 21st century, economic development seemed to have left San Pablo. While San Pedro, Biñan, Santa Rosa City, Cabuyao, Calamba City, Los Baños and Santa Cruz experienced rapid economic development brought about by local and foreign investments and the rapid growth of industrial estates and export processing zones in those areas, San Pablo was left behind and remained as a semi-developed residential community. Due to lack of economic opportunities available, many residents of San Pablo migrated to Metro Manila or to other towns and cities of Laguna, particularly Calamba City, Santa Rosa City and San Pedro. Despite the fact that the city was virtually not touched by economic development, San Pablo City boasts itself as a potential eco-tourism destination in the province.
