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).
