San Jose del Monte extends across 31,294 hectares of land, featuring diverse elevations from lowlands to uplands near the Sierra Madre mountain range.

The city originated from a discovery of Saint Joseph's statue in the forest by hunters, leading to its establishment on March 2, 1752.

Local residents participate in numerous festivals celebrating Filipino traditions, with the Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto Shrine serving as a central religious site.

The North Luzon Expressway connects the city to Metro Manila, while local transportation includes various public options serving its 651,813 inhabitants.
