Prior to its second dissolution in 1972, the first district encompassed the western Bulacan municipalities of Balagtas, Bulacan (now Bulakan), Bustos, Calumpit, Guiguinto (formerly Bigaa), Hagonoy, Malolos, Paombong, Plaridel (formerly Quingua), and Pulilan. Following the restoration of the Congress in 1987, it was reduced to encompass six municipalities in its present jurisdiction, while four other municipalities were reassigned to the second district.
