United States Congressional Delegations From Virginia

United States Congressional Delegations From Virginia

These are tables of congressional delegations from Virginia to the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives.

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. Additionally, after the separation of West Virginia in 1863, Virginia lost two seats (however, during the Civil War and Reconstruction era, the Virginia congressional delegation was not seated).

    Hollywood ... was the place where the United States perpetrated itself as a universal dream and put the dream into mass production.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    The United States must be neutral in fact as well as in name.... We must be impartial in thought as well as in action ... a nation that neither sits in judgment upon others nor is disturbed in her own counsels and which keeps herself fit and free to do what is honest and disinterested and truly serviceable for the peace of the world.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    If I be false, or swerve a hair from truth,
    When time is old and hath forgot itself,
    When waterdrops have worn the stones of Troy,
    And blind oblivion swallowed cities up,
    And mighty states characterless are grated
    To dusty nothing, yet let memory
    From false to false among false maids in love
    Upbraid my falsehood.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
