Districts of Camarines Norte

History

[edit]

Camarines Norte was represented as part of Ambos Camarines, particularly the at-large district in the Malolos Congress from 1898 to 1899 and the first and second districts beginning in 1907, prior to being granted its own representation, after the division of Ambos Camarines in 1919 into Norte and Sur. From 1978 to 1984, it was part of the representation of Region V.

The passage of Republic Act No. 9725 in 2009 abolished the lone district and divided the province into two districts starting in the 2010 elections.[1]
