Also known as Occidental Mindoro's lone district, it has been represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippines since 1952.[3] It first elected a representative provincewide at-large for the 2nd Congress of the Third Philippine Republic following the dissolution of the old Mindoro province under Republic Act No. 505 on June 13, 1950.[4] It has remained a single-member district even under the Fourth Philippine Republic parliament known as the Regular Batasang Pambansa from 1984 to 1986.
