The town got its name after King Amadeo I of Spain.
On February 15, 1989, Mayor Jeremias Villanueva was washing his car in front of his rented townhouse in Las Piñas, Metro Manila, when he and his security man Virgilio Lascano were assassinated by three gunmen riding a vehicle.[5] Four suspects, including a Manila policeman from Amadeo, were later captured in Parañaque a month later on March 16,[6] and by next day, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) confirmed that the assassination was ordered by Villanueva's political rival, former Mayor Reynaldo Bayot.[7]
Amadeo is politically subdivided into 26 barangays (12 urban, 14 rural). [8]
