Massachusetts's congressional districts

Massachusetts's congressional districts

After the 1890 Census and starting with the Fifty-third United States Congress in 1893, Massachusetts Congressional Districts were numbered west to east: with the first district in the west (Berkshire County) and the highest numbered district at Cape Cod.

Before then, the district numeration was not as consistent; sometimes running east to west, other times going counter-clockwise around Boston.
