==History==
==History==
Kansas had but one representative in the [[U.S. House of Representatives]] until after the [[United States Census, 1870|1870 U.S. Census]], which showed that the state was entitled to three members of the lower branch of the national legislature. In 1872, three representatives-[[at-large]] were elected, but by the act of March 2, 1874, the legislature divided the state into three districts. The 2nd Congressional District was composed of the counties of Montgomery, Wilson, Labette, Cherokee, Crawford, Neosho, Bourbon, Allen, Anderson, Linn, Miami, Franklin, Johnson, Douglas and Wyandotte.

No changes were made in until after the [[United States Census, 1880|1880 U.S. Census]], which gave the state seven representatives. On March 5, 1883, [[Governor of Kansas|Governor]] [[George Washington Glick]] approved an act of the legislature which reduced the 2nd Congressional District to only include the counties of Wyandotte, Johnson, Douglas, Miami, Franklin, Anderson, Linn, Allen and Bourbon.

Although the [[United States Census, 1890|1890 U.S. Census]] showed the population of Kansas to be large enough to entitle the state to eight representatives, no additional district was created until 1905. By the act of March 9, 1905, the state was divided into eight districts with the 2nd Congressional district being composed of the counties of Wyandotte, Johnson, Douglas, Miami, Franklin, Anderson, Linn, Allen and Bourbon.<ref name="Blackmar-ConDist">{{Cite encyclopedia| editor=Frank W.

Kansas' 2nd congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Kansas that covers most of the eastern part of the state, except for the core of the Kansas City Metropolitan Area. The district encompasses less than a quarter of the state. The state capital of Topeka, the cities of Emporia, Junction City and Leavenworth and most of Kansas City are located within this district. The district is currently represented by Republican Jake LaTurner.

History

[edit]

Kansas had but one representative in the U.S. House of Representatives until after the 1870 U.S. census, which showed that the state was entitled to three members of the lower branch of the national legislature. In 1872, three representatives-at-large were elected, but by the act of March 2, 1874, the legislature divided the state into three districts. The 2nd congressional district was composed of the counties of Montgomery, Wilson, Labette, Cherokee, Crawford, Neosho, Bourbon, Allen, Anderson, Linn, Miami, Franklin, Johnson, Douglas and Wyandotte.

No changes were made in until after the 1880 U.S. census, which gave the state seven representatives. On March 5, 1883, Governor George Washington Glick approved an act of the legislature which reduced the 2nd congressional district to only include the counties of Wyandotte, Johnson, Douglas, Miami, Franklin, Anderson, Linn, Allen and Bourbon.

Although the 1890 U.S. census showed the population of Kansas to be large enough to entitle the state to eight representatives, no additional district was created until 1905. By the act of March 9, 1905, the state was divided into eight districts with the 2nd Congressional district being composed of the counties of Wyandotte, Johnson, Douglas, Miami, Franklin, Anderson, Linn, Allen and Bourbon.[3]

Reapportionment for 2002 placed the western half of Lawrence as well as Miami County into the 2nd congressional district and cut out the counties of Geary, Montgomery and Nemaha.

Reapportionment in 2012 meant that the entirety of Lawrence was moved to the 2nd congressional district. The district's boundaries were altered to remove Manhattan, home of Kansas State University, and portions of Miami County while adding all of Montgomery County and Nemaha County and portions of Marshall County.

Reapportionment in 2022 moved the entirety of Lawrence to the 1st congressional district. The district's boundaries were also altered to move Anderson and Franklin counties and portions of Miami County to the 3rd congressional district. The entirety of Miami County is now in the 3rd congressional district. Most of Jackson, all of Jefferson and the remaining part of Marshall counties moved from the district to the 1st congressional district. The counties of Chase, Geary, Lyon, Marion, Morris and Wabaunsee all moved from the 1st congressional district to the district.

2000 demographics

[edit]

Following redistricting after the 2000 U.S. census,[4] there were 672,102 people, 257,856 households, and 173,309 families residing in the district. The population density was 47.6/mi2 over a land area of 14,133 square miles (36,600 km2). There were 280,213 housing units at an average density of 19.8/mi2.
