Makati City
- Overview
- History
- 1571 - Originally founded as a visita of Sta. Ana de Sapa under the jurisdiction of the Franciscans, Makati was first dismissed as "worthless" swamp land by the Spanish conquistador Miguel Lopez de Legazpi in 1571.[1]
- 1671 to 1899 - Yet over the centuries, this small community would leave large imprints in social, economic and cultural history. The friars established two of the earliest churches in the Philippines - the Nuestra Señora de Gracia in Guadalupe and the Church of Sts. Peter and Paul - in Makati, drawing pilgrims from all over the country. [1]
- 1900 - At the turn of the century, the Americans established Fort McKinley in Makati.[1]
- 1901 - San Pedro de Macati, with a population of 2,500, was incorporated into the province of Rizal.
- 1914 - The Philippine Legislature passed Act 2390, shortening the name San Pedro Macati to Makati in the 1930s, the first airport of Luzon, Nielson Field, opened in what is now the Ayala Triangle.
- 1950 to 1970 - The first centrally planned community was established in the 1950s, and since the 1970s, Makati has been the undisputed financial and commercial capital, the once worthless swampland becoming prime real property.[1]
- 1975 - Makati was separated from Rizal province.
- 1995 - Makati became an independent city by virtue of Republic Act 7854.
