It was originally established during the Spanish Occupation of the Philippines as a comandancia politico-militar in 1890,[1] and encompassed the current provinces of northern Benguet, southern Ilocos Sur, and northeastern La Union.[1][2]

It originally comprised the towns of Suyo, Sugpon, Santol, San Gabriel, Sudipen, Sigay, its old capital Alilem, and its newer capital, Tagudin.[3][4] The comandancia included the rancherias of Up-uplas, Maliclico, Quimposa, Daquis, Bacanoa, Batangen, Tamurong and Bakun.[5] [6]
