Cardona is part of the 2nd Congressional District of Rizal.
Cardona is 23 kilometres (14 mi) from Antipolo and 40 kilometres (25 mi) from Manila. With the continuous expansion of Metro Manila, the municipality is the easternmost part of Manila's built-up area.
In 1855, Cardona was created as a town of the District of Morong, with boundaries set in 1857. Later in June 1901, Cardona formed part of the newly created Province of Rizal through Act 137 promulgated by the Philippine Commission. In 1903, Act 942 annexed the town to the Municipality of Morong. Eleven years then, the Executive Order 108 issued by Governor-General Francis Burton Harrison has established the town as an independent municipality.
