Etymology
• " Imus is a Tagalog word meaning "a piece of land cutting
into the junction of two rivers." The old location of the
church is in Toclong where the confluence of Imus River and
Julian River is located, forming a slice of land.
• Some intellectuals of the city theorized that the name
"Imus" originated from the Latin word infimus, meaning
lowland. Comparing the altitude of different towns in Cavite
province, Imus is described as lowland, slowly elevating to
the neighboring city of Dasmariñas, to Silang, Indang,
Amadeo, Mendez, Alfonso, General Emilio Aguinaldo, peaking
in Tagaytay Ridge, the highest part of the province, as
upland towns.
Etymology
• Although there is no verifiable source of this theory, it has
also been said that the name Imus is derived from the word
centimos,
• Another legend is that of a young mother crooning her child
to sleep with a plaintive Tagalog ditty called "limos." A group
of Spanish soldiers, who had gone there for the first time,
asked her name of the place, and the woman, thinking that
they were asking her the name of the song, answered
"Limos". The Spaniards went away muttering the last
syllable "imus"
Historical Notes
• Imus, used to be a “visita” of Cavite Viejo, is one of the
oldest administrative units of Cavite. Cavite Viejo was under
the administration of the Jesuits until 1686 when the
Recollects took over Imus. Efforts were then directed in
seeking emancipation from the ecclesiastical and civil
administration of Cavite Viejo, until Imus was completely
liberated.
Historical Notes
• The ecclesiastical land that tied Imus to Cavite Viejo since
the early part of the 17th century was covered by the Royal
Order of October 30, 1776. This Royal Decree was
considered as the first step in the creation of the
Municipality of Imus.
Historical Notes
• The Recollects, not contented with the religious
emancipation of Imus from Cavite Viejo, sought its eventual
political separation. Imus finally became an independent
municipality in 1795.
Historical Notes
• A bill was filed by Congressman Joseph Abaya with co-
authors Congressman Pidi Barzaga and Crispin Remulla
creating the Municipality of Imus as a lone legislative
district. The bill was supported by Senator Panfilo Lacson,
Senator Richard Gordon and Senator Bong Revilla. On
October 22, 2009, Republic Act 9727 creating the lone
district of Imus as the “Third District of Cavite,” was
approved by the President of the Philippines.
Historical Notes
• On August 3, 2010, Congressman Erineo Maliksi filed House
Bill no. 01989, creating the City of Imus. The bill was
enacted into law as Republic Act No. 10161. Through a
plebiscite conducted last June 30, 2012, RA 10161 was then
ratified by 22,742 registered voters of Imus and converted
the municipality into a first class component city to be
known as the City of Imus.
