[edit] History

Indang (originally called Indan) was established as a town in 1655, when it was administratively separated from the nearby town of Silang. The name "Indan" was derived from the Tagalog word "indang" or "inrang", a tree which grew there.

In Barangay Limbon, Andres Bonifacio was arrested after being defeated in the Tejeros Convention and prevented from pursuing his counter-revolutionary plan to set up a separate government and army.
