Introduction

It was created under Presidential Decree No. 1325 dated April 3, 1978 by Ferdinand Marcos. The subdivisions known as Admiral Village and Merville in Barangay La Huerta were separated to form a distinct and independent barangay to be known as Barangay Merville without affecting the legal existence of its mother barangay.

Barangay Merville contains the following subdivisions:

• Bella Villa I
• Buena Vida Homes
• Buensuceso Homes II
• Camella Homes
• Citihomes Regency
• City Square
• Cubic Homes
• Greenville
• Inland Executive
• Jade Manor
• Merville Park
• Molave Park
• South Admiral Village
• SGP I & II
• SGP VII
• South Pointe

            Merville is bounded by Pasay City to the north, Muntinlupa to the southeast, Las Piñas to the southwest, Taguig in the northeast and Manila Bay to the west. Other notable boundaries include the Access Road to the north, Ninoy Aquino Internation Airport to the northwest, Don Bosco to the south, Barangay Sun Valley to the southwest, South Luzon Expressway and Skyway to the east, and Barangay Moonwalk to the west.
