Kawit

·	The first masonic lodge in the Philippines, called Logia Primera Luz Filipina, was established in Kawit in 1856, thirteen years before Aguinaldo was born, by two Spanish naval officers, Jose Malcampo and his friend, Castro Mendez Nuñez, operating under a charter from the Grand Oriente Lucitano, the Masonic Grand Lodge of Portugal.
·	General Emilio Aguinaldo, upon the approval of the American government to finally display the Philippine flag in 1919, transformed his home in Kawit into a monument to the flag, the revolution and the declaration of Philippine Independence.
·	Beside Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, this small town of Kawit gave the country five (5) other generals of the revolution, namely: Candido Tria Tirona, Crispulo Aguinaldo, Daniel Tria Tirona, Baldomero Aguinaldo and Tomas Mascardo.
·	“Tierra Alta” because of its higher elevation, fine stream, cool climate, and rich vegetation, became a favorite vacation resort and hunting ground for Spanish ‘Conquistadores”. This territory is now the Municipality of Noveleta, which is just a part of KAWIT until 1908.
·	Several of Kawit barrios/barangay have names suggestive of their origin. Binakayan was drived from the Tagalog word bakay (to watch); Marulas from madulas (slippery); Gahak from gahak (torn to destroyed); Tabon from tabon (to cover or covered); Kaingen from kaingin (forest clering); and Panamitan from paminwitan (fishing grounds).
·	The first map showing the town of Cavite el Viejo is dated 1734 which was engraved by Nicolas de la Cruz Bagay, a Filipino printer.
