Thelegislative districts of Misamis were the representations of the historicalprovince ofMisamis in thevarious national legislatures of thePhilippines until 1931. The undivided province's representation encompassed what are now the provinces ofCamiguin,Misamis Occidental andMisamis Oriental, and thehighly urbanized city ofCagayan de Oro.
Misamis was initially represented in thelower house of thePhilippine Legislature through two assembly districts. When seats for theupper house of thePhilippine Legislature were elected from territory-based districts between 1916 and 1935, the province formed part of theeleventh senatorial district which elected two out of the 24-memberSenate.
In February 1921 the enactment of Act No. 2968 or the "Artadi Law" enlarged the province of Misamis southward with the annexation of northern areas ofBukidnon: the municipal districts ofClaveria and Napaliran were annexed toBalingasag and became part of thefirst district; the municipal district of Lourdes (also spelled Lourdez), along with areas around the middle stretches of the Iponan andCagayan rivers, were annexed toCagayan de Misamis and became part of thesecond district. Executive Order No. 74 issued on August 22, 1927, re-constituted Claveria and Lourdes into separate municipal districts, and also created two new municipal districts: Taglimao (the area in the middle reaches of the Iponan River) and Lumbia (middle reaches of the Cagayan River).[1]
On November 2, 1929, thePhilippine Legislature approved Act No. 3537 which divided Misamis into two new provinces with effect on January 1, 1930.[2] Per Section 6 of the said law the incumbent Misamisfirst district andsecond district assemblymen were to representMisamis Oriental andMisamis Occidental respectively. The two successor provinces first elected their separate lower house representatives in the1931 elections.
