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

Tanza was formerly a strip of land incorporated for official purpose to the municipality of San Francisco de Malabon, now called Gen. Trias. The first settlers were the Fabian brothers who migrated here. This place was particularly devoted to grazing and was called Estancia (1780).

In 1914, Atty. Florentino Joya who was then a representative of Cavite to the National Assembly worked for the passage of a bill which renamed the town of Sta. Cruz de Malabon to Tanza by virtue of Philippine Legislative Act No. 2390 dated on February 28, 1914.

Tanza celebrated Araw ng Tanza 100th anniversary with a theme "Tanza, Sandaang Taon Na!" February 28, 2014 with a parade of Higante figures across the town proper with a fireworks display and a Lantern festival at evening.

Tanza is also one of the municipalities in Cavite that has already reached the requirements to become a new city in the province yet, no bills had been filed in Congress.
