Dasmariñas Village was developed by Ayala Compañía in the early 1960s and was originally conceived as part of Forbes Park. It is believed to be the first housing development in the Philippines to include air conditioning as a standard feature in all its houses.[3] DVA was incorporated in 1965, while Barangay Dasmariñas was split from Forbes Park and established in 1971.[2]
Colegio San Agustin, a private co-educational school founded in 1969, is located within the premises of Dasmariñas Village, specifically on Palm Avenue. The school is attended by residents and non-residents of the village.
