About
About Imus
Imus, officially the City of Imus (Filipino: Lungsod ng Imus), is a component city and de jure capital of the province of Cavite, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 481,949 people.
Imus is the de jure capital of Cavite, but government offices remain at the de facto capital in Trece Martires. It is also the religious center of the province, serving as the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Imus. The city's history traces back to the Spanish era, but the origin of the name "Imus" remains obscure, and shrouded by numerous theories and urban legends. Imus is the site of the Battle of Alapan, a major encounter during the Philippine Revolution, and a giant flagpole is erected in the historical battlefield site.
