Prior to its second dissolution in 1972, the district consisted of towns that all currently remain in Rizal, as well as the present-day Metro Manila cities of Pasig (the then-seat of Rizal provincial government), Marikina, and the eastern part of Quezon City that was previously part of the aforementioned cities. After the creation of Metro Manila in 1975, the second district then comprises the northern and eastern part of the reduced province of Rizal beginning in 1987. In 2021, the municipalities of Rodriguez and San Mateo, which have been part of the 2nd district since its creation, have been separated from the district to form the 3rd and 4th districts, respectively,[5] by virtue of Republic Act No. 11533.[6]
