Manila, also formerly known as Tondo, was a historical province in the Philippines, encompassing the former Kingdom of Tondo and Kingdom of Maynila.[1] In 1898, it included the City of Manila and 23 other municipalities. It was incorporated into the Province of Rizal in 1901.

Cities and Municipalities

The province was composed of the City of Manila and 23 other municipalities. The districts of Binondo, Dilao, Ermita, Malate, Pandacan, Quiapo, Sampaloc, San Miguel, Santa Ana, Santa Cruz, and Tondo are often referred to as "pueblos", "suburbs" or "neighborhoods" of Manila. The name Manila originally referred to the "city within the walls" (now called Intramuros), but its meaning eventually came to include the suburbs surrounding it, leading to confusion about which places constitute "Manila" in the late 19th century.[1][2] From the 1860s onward, the area was often referred to as Ciudad de Manila y sus arrabales ("The City of Manila and its suburbs") or as Manila y los pueblos de extramuros ("Manila and the communities outside the walls").[2] The present-day City of Manila includes all these areas.
