Nagcarlan was headed by Datu Gat Lakilaw before its Christianization and was one of two barangays in present-day Laguna, the other being the present town of Majayjay, to resist Spanish rule while the others surrendered to the Spanish forces. The town's conversion to Christianity began in 1578 and it formally became a pueblo in 1583, under a Franciscan friar.
It was in Nagcarlan where Fr. Juan de Placencia, a Franciscan missionary, wrote the first Diccionario Hispanico-Tagalog in 1579. His manuscript, Costumbres de los Tagalog which was written ten years later, was used as a guide by the alcalde mayores for effective and righteous local governance. It was in 1851 when the famous Underground Cemetery of Nagcarlan was built.
