Cavite City, officially the City of Cavite (Chavacano: ''Ciudad de Cavite''; ), is a city in the Province of Cavite, in the Philippines. The city was the capital of Cavite province from the latter's establishment in 1614 until 1954, when it was transferred to the newly created city of Trece Martires City near the center of the province. The city is classified as a fourth-class city in terms of income classification.〔 The city started as the small port town of Cavite that prospered during the early Spanish colonial period when it became the main seaport of Manila hosting the Manila-Acapulco galleon trade and the port used for other heavy and larger sea-bound ships. Thereafter, San Roque and La Caridad, two former independent towns of Cavite province,〔Bureau of Insular Affairs (1902). ("" ), pg. 450. Government Printing Office, Washington.〕 were later added to form one municipality. The present larger Cavite City now includes the communities of San Antonio (includes Cañacao and Sangley Point),〔De la Rosa, Joy (2007-09). ("About Cavite City" ). Cavite City Library and Museum. Retrieved on 2014-10-19.〕 the southern districts of Santa Cruz and Dalahican, and the outlying islands of the province, including the historic Corregidor Island. ==Geography== The City of Cavite occupies most of the hook-shaped Cavite Peninsula that juts into Manila Bay. The peninsula is bounded by Bacoor Bay to the southeast. The peninsula ends at two tips - Sangley Point and Cavite Point. Cañacao Bay is the body of water formed between Sangley Point and Cavite Point. The latter was the location of the old historic Port of Cavite. Both Bacoor and Cañacao Bays are inland bays of the larger Manila Bay. The city's only land border is the Municipality of Noveleta to the south. The city is the northernmost settlement in the Province of Cavite, which lies southwest from Manila with a direct distance of about but about by road. Sangley Point, the former location of the United States Sangley Point Naval Base, is the northernmost part of the city, peninsula and province. The former American military naval base has since been converted into a Philippine military base. The historic island of Corregidor, the adjacent islands and detached rocks of Caballo, Carabao, El Fraile and La Monja found at the mouth of Manila Bay are part of the city's territorial jurisdiction. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cavite City」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
