History
Rizal was composed of 29 municipalities, 17 of these are from Manila's old province, the following are: Province of Manila (Caloocan, Las Piñas, Mariquina (Marikina), Lumisang-Aguho, Montalban (Rodriguez), Muntinlupa, Navotas, Novaliches, Parañaque, Pasig, Pateros, Pineda (Pasay), San Felipe Neri (Mandaluyong), San Juan del Monte (San Juan), San Mateo, San Pedro Macati (Makati), Taguig, Tambobong (Malabon)), and 12 from the Politico-Militar District of Morong, (Angono, Baras, Binangonan, Cainta, Antipolo, Cardona, Jalajala, Morong, Pililla, Tanay, Taytay and Teresa).
The City of Manila was treated as a separate entity from the old Province of Manila . Pasig became the seat of the provincial government.
On November 7, 1975, to form the National Capital Region, Rizal was divided into parts, Las Piñas, Parañaque, Muntinlupa, Taguig, Pateros, Makati, Mandaluyong, San Juan, Malabon, Navotas, Pasig and Marikina, and the three cities of Caloocan, Pasay and Quezon City were some of the municipalities excised from Rizal to form the new region. The rest had stayed in Rizal.
