Virginia has undergone so many demographic changes that in some cases, a district often is not a direct continuation of the same numbered district before reapportionment. For example, the current 7th District covers roughly the same geographic area of what was the 3rd District prior to redistricting after the 1990 Census.

United States Senate

1803 - 1813: 22 seats

1833 - 1843: 21 seats

1863 - 1873: 11 seats

Following the 1860 census and the separation of West Virginia, two seats were eliminated, leaving Virginia with 9 seats. For most of this decade, however, Virginian representatives were not seated in Congress because of Virginia's secession in the Civil War.

1933 - 1953: 9 seats

After the 1930 census, Virginia lost one seat. For the 73rd Congress (1933-1935), all nine representatives were elected at-large state-wide. In all subsequent Congresses, representatives were elected from districts.
