==History==
The city is historically significant because it was the center of activities for the ''Katipunan'', the secret militant society that launched the Philippine Revolution during the Spanish occupation of the Philippines. It was in a house in Caloocan where secret meetings were held by Andrés Bonifacio and his men, and it was within the city's perimeters where the very first armed encounter took place between the ''Katipunan'' and the Spaniards.
In 1899 the city saw heavy fighting in the Philippine–American War, at the Battle of Caloocan and the Second Battle of Caloocan.
The word ''caloocan'' comes from the Tagalog root word ''lo-ok''; ''kalook-lookan'' (or ''kaloob-looban'') means "innermost area". The City borders many other cities such as Quezon City, Manila, Malabon, Navotas, Valenzuela and San Jose del Monte in the north. During the formation of the province of Rizal, Caloocan was included in its matrix until 1975.
