{{further|Legislative district of Mindanao and Sulu|Legislative district of Lanao}}

Prior to gaining separate representation, areas now under the jurisdiction of Lanao del Norte were represented under the Department of Mindanao and Sulu (1917–1935) and the historical Lanao Province (1935–1961).{{fact|date=November 2023}}

The enactment of Republic Act No. 2228 on 22 May 1959 divided the old Lanao Province into Lanao del Norte and Lanao del Sur, and provided them each with a congressional representative.{{cite web|author=Congress of the Philippines|title=Republic Act No. 2228 - An Act to Create the Provinces of Lanao del Norte and Lanao del Sur|url=http://laws.chanrobles.com/republicacts/22_republicacts.php?id=2231 |website=Chan Robles Virtual Law Library|access-date=18 February 2017|date=22 May 1959}} In accordance with Section 8 of R.A. 2228, the incumbent representative of Lanao Province, Laurentino Badelles, continued to represent both successor provinces until the next general election in 1961. The chartered city of Iligan, despite being enumerated as part of the territory of neither successor province, was designated as Lanao del Norte's seat of provincial government and became part of its congressional representation.{{fact|date=November 2023}}

Lanao del Norte was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa as part of Region XII from 1978 to 1984. The province returned one representative, elected at large, to the Regular Batasang Pambansa in 1984. Iligan, declared a highly urbanized city in 1983, separately elected its own representative in this election.{{fact|date=November 2023}}

Under the new Constitution{{cite web|title=1987 Constitution of the Philippines - Apportionment Ordinance|url=http://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/constitutions/the-1987-constitution-of-the-republic-of-the-philippines/the-1987-constitution-of-the-republic-of-the-philippines-ordinance/|author=1986 Constitutional Commission|date=2 February 1987|access-date=19 November 2017|website=Official Gazette of the Republic of the Philippines}} which was proclaimed on 11 February 1987, Lanao del Norte was once more grouped with Iligan and reapportioned into two congressional districts, which elected their respective members to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year.{{fact|date=November 2023}}

The passage of Republic Act No. 9724 on 20 October 2009, segregated the highly urbanized city of Iligan from the first district of Lanao del Norte to form its own congressional district starting in the 2010 elections.{{cite web|url=http://www.senate.gov.ph/republic_acts/ra%209724.pdf|title=Republic Act No. 9724 - An Act Separating the City of Iligan from the First Legislative District of the Province of Lanao del Norte to Constitute the Lone Legislative District of the City of Iligan|author=Congress of the Philippines|date=20 October 2009|access-date=18 February 2017 |website=Senate of the Philippines}} Republic Act No. 9774, enacted on 17 November 2009, further reapportioned Lanao del Norte's districts by transferring the municipalities of Baloi, Matungao, Pantar and Tagoloan from the second to the first district.{{cite web|title=Republic Act No. 9774 - An Act providing for the reapportionment of legislative districts in the Province of Lanao del Norte|author=Congress of the Philippines|date=17 November 2009|access-date=18 February 2017|website=Senate of the Philippines|url=http://www.senate.gov.ph/republic_acts/ra%209774.pdf}} The reconfigured districts elected their representatives beginning in the 2010 elections.
