It was represented in the House of Representatives from 1969 to 1972, in the Regular Batasang Pambansa from 1984 to 1986, and in the restored House of Representatives from 1987 to 2010.

It was a short-lived district for the Third Philippine Republic Congress, having been eliminated following the dissolution of the lower house in 1972.

In 1984, provincial and city representations were restored and Agusan del Sur elected a member for the regular parliament. The district was re-established ahead of the 1987 Philippine House of Representatives elections and continued to elect representatives until Agusan del Sur was reapportioned in 2008 and which took effect in 2010.
