Meycauayan, Industrial component city in Bulacan, Philippines
Meycauayan is a component city in Bulacan featuring industrial parks and residential neighborhoods spread across the land. The city contains factories, warehouses, and business centers mixed with populated areas where people shop, work, and live.
Franciscan missionaries founded the settlement in 1578, making it one of the earliest centers of Spanish colonial administration. The town later became an important trade point between Manila and the northern provinces.
The name Meycauayan comes from Tagalog words referring to bamboo forests that once covered the area. This name connection to the natural landscape remains part of how locals understand their city's roots.
The city is accessible through major highways that connect its industrial areas and residential neighborhoods. Local transportation like jeepneys and tricycles move between different districts.
Stone quarries here supplied the adobe rocks used to build the defensive walls of Intramuros in Manila during Spanish colonial times. This connection to Manila's architectural history often goes unnoticed by visitors.
