Carmona, Cavite
Carmona ([kaɾˈmɔna]), officially the City of Carmona (Tagalog: Lungsod ng Carmona), is a component city in the province of Cavite, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 112,140 people.
Carmona is the youngest city in the Philippines, having attained cityhood on July 8, 2023. It is the 149th city created in the country.
By virtue of a decree issued on February 20, 1857, by Queen Isabella II of Spain through Governor General Fernándo Norzagaray y Escudero, Latag became a separate municipality with the name it bears today: Carmona, named after the city of the same name in the province of Seville, Spain.
Carmona was formerly a settlement called Latag, which was annexed to the town of Silang upon the latter's creation in 1595. The origins of its name are unknown. In 1856, the settlement's inhabitants demanded the conversion of Latag into a town, spearheaded by Tiburcio Purificacion.
Carmona history started with three brothers who came to the land of Carmona, which was at the time called Labac.
In 1595, Silang was established as a town. The former sitio of Labac became Barrio Latag, while Carmona remained part of Silang. This was typical of the early Spanish period, when Silang’s jurisdiction included areas that are now separate municipalities, such as Indang, San Francisco de Malabon (now General Trias), and Maragondon.
On March 9, 1746, a decree determined the boundaries of Silang and Biñan signed by Mayor Pedro Calderon Enriquez.
On November 15, 1759, two years after securing the independence of Carmona, the principales requested the Governor of Cavite for the reversal of the Canon on communal lands after constructing their own public buildings and irrigation works.
