History
See also: Legislative districts of CapizRomblon, then part of the province of Capiz, initially had two delegates, appointed at-large, to the Malolos Congress in 1898; this remained so until 1899. Romblon was represented as part of the third district of Capiz from 1907 to 1919. It was later reestablished as a separate province in 1917, thus its separate representation was restored, electing one representative this time in 1919.
Romblon was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa as part of Region IV-A from 1978 to 1984, and returned one representative, elected at large, to the Regular Batasang Pambansa in 1984.
