Distrito de La Infanta

Distrito de La Infanta was a politico-military district established during the late Spanish colonial period in the Philippines. Created in 1858, it was situated at the eastern coast of Luzon. It covered a portion of what was known as 'contracosta'—the pueblo of Binangonan de Lampon (today collectively referred to as Metro Reina—comprising the municipalities of Real, Infanta, and General Nakar), and the islands of Polillo (now the municipalities of Polillo, Panukulan, Patnanungan, Burdeos, as well as the island municipality of Jomalig). The capital of the Distrito de La Infanta was located in Binangonan de Lampon, where the 'Politico-Militar Comandante' resided and exercised authority over the entire district. All of the area that was formerly part of Distrito de La Infanta are now part of the Province of Quezon.
