    History 

The province of Romblon was formerly called Lomlon or Domblon. It was organized by the Spanish into a politico-military district in 1853 and made a sub-province of Capiz[?]. In 1917, it was converted into a separate province. In October 1, 1946, Romblon was made into a special province with four municipalities, namely Tablas, Romblon, Sibuyan ang Manghali. On January 1, 1947, the regular provincial status of Romblon was restored.
