Welcome to the Jewelry Capital of the Philippines! Located in the southern part of Bulacan Province and north of Metro Manila, Meycauayan City is bounded on the north by the municipality of Marilao, on the east by Caloocan City of Metro Manila, on the south by Valenzuela City also of Metro Manila, and on the west by Obando town. 26 barangays comprised the city with a total land area of 32.1 square kilometers.

Founded by Franciscan Missionaries in 1578, the City is one of the oldest settlements in the Philippines. In terms of population, the city is the least populated among the three cities of Bulacan. Tagalog is the dominant dialect but English is widely used in schools, business, and government. Majority of the people are Roman Catholics.

Although the city has increasingly becoming urbanized, there are still many agricultural lands where rice, rootcrops, vegetables, livestock, and poultry are produced. Meycauayan is a major producer of jewelry and leather products. Other manufactured goods are processed foods, garments, fashion accessories, gifts and toys. Existing industrial estates are Meycauayan Industrial Subdivision, Sterling Industrial Park, Meridien Industrial Compound, Muralla Industrial Project, and First Valenzuela Industrial Compound.

Meycauayan offers many business opportunities in real estate particularly mass housing, commercial complexes, and tourist facilities. Manufacturing varied products especially processed foods, jewelry, clothing, and other fashion accessories is a viable option considering the strategic location of the city. Its agricultural lands can produce high value commercial crops such as vegetables and ornamental plants.
