History

Potia was created as the municipal district by virtue of Republic Act No. 1222 in May 11, 1955 from the barrios of Potia, Dolowog, San Juan, San Quintin, Cabicalan, Pinto, Busilac, Santa Maria, and Namillangan in the municipal district of Mayaoyao.[5] In 1959 the name was proposed to changed to Alfonso Lista to memorialize the first mayor.

Originally organized during the Osmena Commonwealth administration as a part of San Mateo, Isabela, the barangays which presently compose Alfonso Lista were transferred to Mayoyao (then a part of Mountain Province).

On December 11, 1988, Potia was formally renamed to Lista by virtue of Republic Act No. 6687. However several government documents including the Philippine Statistics Authority, Commission on Audit and the municipality itself used the style "Alfonso Lista" as its name. To avoid confusion with the name used on Republic Act No. 6687, on May 24, 2021, House Bill No. 9451, introduced by Congressman Solomon Chungalao of the Lone District Ifugao was filed and approved.
