Historical district boundaries
2003-13
File:CA-47th.png
From 2003 through 2013, the district included many of Orange County's central suburbs, including Anaheim, Garden Grove and Santa Ana.
2013-23
File:California US Congressional District 47 (since 2013).tif
Due to redistricting after the 2010 United States census, the district moved west to parts of Los Angeles County and included Catalina and San Clemente islands. The district also retained parts of Orange County such as Garden Grove.
In popular culture
California's 47th congressional district was the scene of a congressional election (won by a deceased Democrat), and later a congressional special election (won by the Republican incumbent), featured in several episodes of the political drama The West Wing. Like the real district, the fictional one from the show is in Orange County.[25]
