Established as a component city on May 24, 1954 under Republic Act No. 981, it was named in honor of the Thirteen Martyrs of Cavite, who were executed by Spanish authorities in 1896. Trece Martires was planned specifically to serve as the provincial capital, replacing Cavite City, and grew rapidly with the establishment of provincial government offices and residential subdivisions in the late 20th century.
