It was represented in the House of Representatives from 1961 to 1972 and in the Batasang Pambansa from 1984 to 1986. The province of Lanao del Norte was created as a result of the division of Lanao in 1959 and elected its first representative provincewide at-large during the 1961 Philippine House of Representatives elections. Laurentino Lluch Badelles who served as representative of Lanao's at-large congressional district during the partition was elected as this district's first representative. The district remained a single-member district until the dissolution of the lower house in 1972. It was later absorbed by the multi-member Region XII's at-large district for the national parliament in 1978. In 1984, provincial and city representations were restored and Lanao del Norte returned one member for the regular parliament with a separate representation created for its highly urbanized city of Iligan. The district was abolished following the 1987 reapportionment that established two districts in the province under a new constitution.
