Historical Background

Silang is believed to be the second oldest town in Cavite and was founded in 1571. The name Silang was derived from Tagalog word “Silanganan”. Some said it came from “isinilang” because of the sudden existence of a church at the center of the town. The town was so big that it used to include what are now called the municipalities of Carmona, Amadeo, GMA and portions of Indang and Gen. Trias. On March 26, 1997, Finance Department Order No. 24-97 classified Silang as a First Class Municipality.
