History[]

Aerial view of Municipality of Tanza (2010-2015), with then-Municipality (now City) of General Trias in the background.

Tanza and Ternate in Cavite and Ermita in Manila were the settlements where 200 families of mixed Mexican-Filipino-Spanish and Papuan-Indonesian-Portuguese descent who had ruled over a Christianized Sultanate of Ternate and included their Sultan who converted, were relocated to.^[5] Originally a part of San Francisco de Malabón called Estancia, Santa Cruz de Malabon became a separate town in 1770, and then again as an independent municipality in 1910. The name was changed to Tanza by virtue of Act No. 2390 by Cavite Representative Florentino Joya (1912-1916).

By 1849, Santa Cruz de Malabón became the center of the Secularization movement led by Father Pedro Pelaez.^[6]

Tanza is the place where Emilio Aguinaldo took oath as the First President of the revolutionary government of the Philippines.^{[citation needed]} It is also the hometown of Felipe G. Calderon, the man who drafted the First Philippine Constitution.^{[citation needed]}

Tanza is the second Local Government Unit in the province which banned the use of plastic bags and polystyrene. This ordinance took effect on January 1, 2012.^{[citation needed]}
