History
Noveleta was originally a barrio of the municipality of Kawit (Cavite El Viejo) and some part of Cavite City (Dalahican). It was made an independent pueblo on January 5, 1868, by Gen. Jose dela Gandera y Navarro. Ironically, Noveleta was referred to by the Spaniards as Tierra Alta meaning higher ground as it was more elevated than Cavite la Punta (now Cavite City). The name Noveleta is said to have originated from Nueva Isla or (new island), a term frequently used by the Spaniards, referring to the locality. In the early years of the Spanish regime visiting priests described the place as Nueva Late (New fate or Fortune). In the course of time these terms Nueva Isla and Nueva Lete evolved into Noveleta.
One legend recounts a beautiful maiden named Violeta, who was forced by her father to marry a Spanish officer despite being engaged to a young Katipunero. On the eve of her wedding, she took her own life. Grieving her loss, the Spanish officer reportedly cried, “Madre de Dios, no Violeta!” Over time, the phrase “No Violeta” evolved into the town’s name, Noveleta.
