109th Congressional Districts and Counties


Table Description

This table lists each congressional district in the state and provides the county name for each county that is contained within the district. A county that is only partially contained within a district is indicated by "(pt.)" following the county name.

Definition

Counties are the primary legal divisions of most states. Most counties are functioning governmental units, whose powers and functions vary from state to state. In four states (Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia), one or more cities are independent of any county and thus constitute primary divisions of their states; the Census Bureau refers to these places as "independent cities" and treats them as the equivalents of counties for data purposes.
