History
Catanduanes was represented as part of Albay's second district from 1907 to 1931, and fully comprised that province's fourth district from 1931 to 1946. It started electing its own representative in 1946, after becoming a full-fledged province in 1945. From 1978 to 1984 it was part of the representation of Region V.
Beginning in 2019, the districts used in appropriation of members is coextensive with the legislative districts of Catanduanes. Prior to 2019 when the province was just one congressional district, the Commission on Elections divided the province into two provincial board districts.
