History of District Boundaries

1795 to 1803

Known as the 2nd Western District.[2]

1803 to 1813

Known as the "Essex North" district.[2]

1813 to 1833

Tisdale's drawing of the Essex South district, turning the area that the district encompassed into a depiction of a dragon-like creature, building upon Richard Alsop's term, "Gerry-mander."

Known as the "Essex South" district.[2] From 1813-1815,[3] the district was shaped in such a way that poet and Federalist Richard Alsop described it as a "Gerry-mander" (a portmanteau of Gerry—the governor at the time—and salamander). Illustrator Elkanah Tisdale subsequently used the term as the basis for a political cartoon, which popularized it and led to "gerrymandering" being used to describe the practice of manipulating electoral district boundaries to gain a political advantage.[4]
