Ohio's 18th Congressional District
The 18th congressional district of Ohio is currently represented by Republican Bob Gibbs. The district ranges around the eastern part of Ohio, taking in a collection of small cities and rural areas. The district voted for the majority party in the House of Representatives in every election since 1954. After the 2010 census, Ohio lost two congressional seats, and the 18th district will become obsolete after the 2012 elections. The territory of the 18th district has been divided and placed into several other Ohio districts. A large portion of this district, including Congressman Gibbs' home in Holmes County, will become part of the new 7th district in 2013.

“This fair homestead has fallen to us, and how little have we done to improve it, how little have we cleared and hedged and ditched! We are too inclined to go hence to a “better land,” without lifting a finger, as our farmers are moving to the Ohio soil; but would it not be more heroic and faithful to till and redeem this New England soil of the world?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
