The City of Imus in Cavite is known in history as one of the first towns that revolted against the Spanish rule. The historical Flag Capital of the Philippines has roots that can be traced way back during the Spanish colonization when Imus was once a part of Cavite el Viejo, the name given to Kawit during that time. In 1762, the Augustinians established a church within the city, which is now known as Bayang Luma. In 1795, Imus became an independent municipality.
Perhaps the biggest event the former municipality has seen was the Battle of Alapan, where the last remains of the Spanish empire were wiped out from the land of Imus. This battle resulted in the Philippine Declaration of Independence in the nearby Kawit, Cavite. Days before the country’s significant independence day, the first Philippine flag was flown in Imus.
Almost a century after in 1977, former President Ferdinand Marcos hailed Imus as the capital of the province of Cavite. It officially became a city in 2012, making it a component city of the province.
Since then, the city has been an attractive site for commercial and residential development. A comfortable distance from the urban jungle of Metro Manila, Imus, Cavite has been a preferred site of industrial establishments. In fact, more than 18 major establishments with a total market value of PhP 1.311 billion have set up their headquarters here.
