History

The highway originally existed as the Lumbangan–Palico (Nasugbu–Tuy) section of Batangas–Bauan–Nasugbu Road, an old road which linked Nasugbu with Batangas. The section was constructed in the mid-1910s.^[4] A new road that connects Tuy to the newly-established city of Tagaytay was later constructed in the 1930s and was made part of the highway.^[5][6] The latter also formed part of Highway 17 that linked Imus with Batangas.^[7][8][9] The entire stretch of the highway was also referred to as Tagaytay-Tuy-Nasugbu Port Road.^[10]
