Pudtol, taken from Luna, was created as a municipal district on December 3, 1956 through Executive Order No. 217.[5][6][7]
It consists of the last remained territories of municipal district Tauit (the first sub-provincial capital of Apayao), which was abolished on January 21, 1936 through EO No. 13 and annexed as a single barrio to Luna.[5][6][8][9] Tauit also comprised the present-day municipalities of Luna, Santa Marcela, Flora, and some parts of Lasam and Allacapan.[10]
Barangays Aga, Cacalaggan, Malibang and Matanguisi are comprised by then Barrio Tawit, Tauit's seat of government.[5][9]
On March 31, 1959, Pudtol was converted into a municipality by virtue of EO No. 335.[6][11]
On June 22, 1963, via Republic Act No. 3672, several barrios and sitios were separated from Pudtol and constituted into the newly created municipality of Flora.[12]
According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the municipality has a land area of 401.02 square kilometres (154.83 sq mi) [13] constituting 9.09% of the 4,413.35-square-kilometre- (1,704.00 sq mi) total area of Apayao.
