History
Prior to gaining separate representation, areas now under the jurisdiction of Aklan were represented under the 2nd and 3rd districts of the province of Capiz.Republic Act No. 1414, enacted on April 25, 1956, created the province of Aklan from the western, Akeanon-speaking municipalities of Capiz. The new province began to elect a separate representative starting in the 1957 elections.
Aklan was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa as part of Region VI from 1978 to 1984. The province returned [|one representative, elected at-large], to the Regular Batasang Pambansa in 1984.
Under the new Constitution which was proclaimed on 11 February 1987, the province constituted a lone district which elected its member to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year.
The signing of Republic Act No. 11077 authored by Carlito S. Marquez on September 24, 2018 reapportioned Aklan into two legislative districts, which elected their separate representatives starting in the 2019 elections.
