Legislative district of Olongapo

History
Further information: Legislative districts of Zambales

Prior to gaining separate representation, areas now under the jurisdiction of Olongapo were represented under the provinces of Zambales (1907–1972) and Region III (1978–1984).

By virtue of being classified as a highly urbanized city on 7 December 1983, Olongapo was granted separate representation for the first time in the Regular Batasang Pambansa, electing one representative, at large, in 1984.

Under the new Constitution which was proclaimed on 11 February 1987, the city was once again grouped with Zambales and formed part of its first congressional district.[1] The district elected its member to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year.
