Virginia's At-large Congressional Seat
After the 1880 census, a tenth seat in the United States House of Representatives was added to Virginia's nine districts. For the 48th Congress (March 4, 1883 – March 4, 1885), that seat was elected at-large state-wide. In 1885, Virginia redistricted its seats into ten geographic districts, thereby eliminating the at-large seat.
