'''State's #th congressional district''' lies in the northwest corner of the state. It is the second smallest district in the state, and it comprises mostly [[Sample City, State]]. It was created after the [[United States Census, 1870|1870 census]]. Until the [[United States Census, 1930|1930 census]], the district was in the center of the state. It is represented by incumbent [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] [[Frank F. Fictitious]] who has represented the district since 1995. |

==District maps== |
|||
The [[National Atlas]] [http://nationalatlas.gov/printable/congress.html has published congressional district maps for each state], and the website specifically says that it "has no plans to create a new set of maps similar to [the maps of the individual districts] for the current session of Congress." So what's there is much better than the obsolete maps on all the WP pages, and nothing better is going to come. It is sorely needed for someone to add these maps so that they can be incorporated into our articles about congressional districts. |
