History of Imus
The city of Imus used to be part of Cavite el Viejo which is now known as Kawit. In 1762, a parish church was established in the baranggay now known as Bayan Luma. The church was destroyed by a typhoon in September of 1776. Recollect Friars then transferred the church to Toclong and finally to sitio de Balangon now known as the city plaza of Imus.
In 1774, Recollect Fr. Pedro San Buenaventura petitioned the government to "separate the inquilinos of Imus from the political jurisdiction of the government of "Cavite el Viejo." The petition was later granted and Imus became an independent municipality on October 3, 1795.
Former President Ferdinand Marcos issued a decree in June 11, 1977 making Imus City the provincial capital of Cavite.
In October 22, 2009, Imus City became the "Third District of Cavite" as a lone district.
