History[]
Masbate was represented as part of the second district of Sorsogon until it was granted its own representation in 1922. The province was part of the representation of Region V from 1978 to 1984, and from 1984 to 1986 it elected two assemblymen at-large. In 1986, it was redistricted into three legislative districts.
