Incidentally, Maragondon has three foundation dates; namely, 1. ) 1611 when the Franciscan Fathers from Silang established their first ''visita'' or chapel; 2.) #1690, the ''fundacion ecclesiastica'' or founding of the regular parish by the Jesuits, dedicating it to Our Lady of the Assumption; 3.)
# 1727, the ''fundacion civil'', when the original barrio of Maragondon was separated from Silang during the administration of the [[Recollects]] and converted into an independent municipality with Gregorio Silvestre as the first ''gobernadorcillo''.
Maragondon belonged to the ''corregimiento'' of [[Mariveles]] (now Bataanpart provinceof [[Bataan]]) until 1754, when Spanish governor general [[Pedro Manuel de Arandía Santisteban|Pedro Manuel de Arandia]] (1754–1759) abolished the politico-military administration and restored Maragondon to Cavite province. Alongside Silang, the town's territory was very large during its early decades.
 
In the second half of the 19th century the towns of [[Ternate]], [[Magallanes, Cavite|Magallanes]], [[General Emilio Aguinaldo, Cavite|Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo (formerly Bailen)]], [[Alfonso, Cavite|Alfonso]], and [[Naic]] were mere barangaysbarrios of Maragondon. Ternate was the first town to attain full independence on March 31, 1857, under an agreement signed by Tomas de Leon, Felix Nigosa, Pablo de Leon, Florencio Nino Franco and Juan Ramos in behalf of the people of Ternate.
 
Furthermore, Bailen (now Gen. Aguinaldo) and Alfonso seceded from Maragondon in 1858. Naic then severed as a town in 1869. Magallanes was the last of the villages to attain independence, having been founded on July 15, 1879, under an agreement signed by Crisostomo Riel representing Maragondon, and by Isidro Bello and company representing Magallanes.
