The Municipality of Kawit, Cavite, with a total land area of 13.40 square kilometers is a 1st Class Municipality. It is described as the “Flag Town of the Republic” and it is the cradle of Philippine Independence. Kawit is the oldest municipality in Cavite. The name Kawit is derived from the Tagalog word “kawit” (hook) which is suggestive of its location at the base of a hook shaped shoreline along Manila Bay extending to the tip of Cavite City.
Its cultural heritage and historical role in Philippine History is a unique treasure for Kawit. The Aguinaldo Shrine where the Philippine Independence was proclaimed by Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, remains one of the most hallowed historical sites in the country. Kawit is composed of 23 barangays. It is both an inland and coastal municipality.
