SUMMARY
Morong was considered the province before it was called Rizal. Its original name was
Politico Militar Distrito de Morong, which included the towns that make up present-day
Rizal Province. On January 16, 1572, Captain Juan Maldonado, a trusted officer under
Martin de Goiti, a Deputy of Miguel Lopez de Legaspi, came to a thriving community by
a river while leading a Spanish contingent exploring the areas East of Manila. They
named the community, Moron, after a township in Spain. This happened almost a year
after Martin De Goit occupied Manila after routing the forces of Rajah Soliman
(Sulayman).

Morong is situated along the coastal plains of Laguna De bay and is nested by the
foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains. Geographically, it is located at 124°57’
longtitude and at 140°50’ latitude, and occupies a land area of 4,856 hectares orb48.56
square kilometers. It is bounded on the north-northeast by Baras, east-southeast by
Tanay and Laguna de Bay south by Cardona, west-southwest by Binangonan and west
by Angono and north by Teresa.

Morong is also known for having education as its priority- "Una Ang Education"
(Education First), that is why during the early 70's and early 90's, it became the center
of education. Students from different places mostly in the nearby towns of Rizal would
come and study in Morong.
