1614 Tambobong was recognized as a town
1670 The Tondo cabecera officially named the town “TAMBOBONG” but the native insisted on calling it “MALABON”
• Malabon was the name of the town’s principal barrio, the present Concepcion
During this era, Malabon served as station for goods. Rivers and tributaries that linked Malabon to other towns served as feeder roads and greatly smoothened
produce-to-market operations.
1770 to 1789 Malabon became the largest producer of high-quality indigo which was exported to European textile industry
(After 1789, Manila opened as a free port-foreign vessels carried off large supplies of tis precious dye)
