===Contemporary=== The province joined the [[Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao]] in 2001, it was last province to do so. Its former capital, Isabela City, opted out and remains a part of the [[Zamboanga Peninsula Region]] (formerly Western Mindanao, Region 9). The capital town [[Lamitan]] became a component city by virtue of ''Republic Act No. 9393'' which sought to convert the town into a city. The law was ratified on June 18, 2007. However, the cityhood status was lost twice in the years 2008 and 2010 after the [[League of Cities of the Philippines|LCP]] questioned the validity of the cityhood law. The cityhood status was reaffirmed after the [[Supreme Court of the Philippines|court]] finalized its ruling on February 15, 2011 which declared the cityhood law constitutional.
