The territory of Nueva Vizcaya was named after the people living in the shore of Mar de Vizcaine in Spain. Close to the beginning of the nineteenth century, it was a bit of the colossal “Territorio de Missiones” of the Spanish-controlled governing body of Cagayan, covering the eastern bit of Northern Luzon from Nueva Vizcaya to Aparri including the Batanes Islands.

On May 24, 1839, Governor Luis Lardizabal, upon the direction of the Alcalde Mayor of Cagayan, gave a solicitation making Nueva Vizcaya as an alternate politico-military region. The solicitation was embraced by a Royal Decree on April 10, 1841. Congressperson Pedro Menchaca was the essential chosen agent. The domain had its first taste of normal government in 1902 when it was revised by the Philippine Commission.

The present district of Nueva Vizcaya was the result of changes emanating from the customary creation of the region of Isabela in May 1856, wherein an unimaginable piece of its northern area was given up to them as of late considered domain.

The relationship of the district of Ifugao in 1908 further diminished the zone of Nueva Vizcaya which needed to give up its northwest locale. The investigation executed by the Bureau of Lands in 1914 caused the lessening of its region eventually upon the foundation of the Administrative Code of 1917.

Finally, in 1971, with the section of Republic Act No. 6394, Quirino, by then a sub-district of Nueva Vizcaya, was disconnected from its mother locale and made into an ordinary area.
