Cavite City
Before the arrival of the Spaniards, Cavite City ---known then as "Tangway" (peninsula)--- was already a trading center where Chinese traders called "Sanglay" conducted business with the local people. During the early Spanish time, the city was known as "Ciudad de Oro" until the year 1614, when the Spaniards fortified the place with "muralla," (high thick walls) and surrounded it with moats, and called the place "Puerto de Cavite." Because of its strategic location, it was made the capital of the province. Historians differ in their versions of the origin of Cavite. One group avers that the name came from the Tagalog word "Kabit-e" which means "attached", "joined" or "connected."
