Cavite

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.

Silang is located on coordinates 120º 58’ North latitude and 14º 13’ East longitude.  It is situated on the eastern part of Cavite province. It is bounded on the north by the municipalities of General Trias, Dasmariñas, General Mariano Alvarez and Carmona; on the west by Amadeo and General Trias; on the east by the municipality of Carmona and the province of Laguna; and on the south by the City of Tagaytay.

Silang is about 44 kilometers from Manila; 20 kilometers from Trece Martires City, the seat of the provincial government and also about 20 kilometers from the Municipality of Imus, the Provincial Capital.
