California's 40th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of California based in Orange County. The district covers cities in the northern part of the county, including Fullerton, Orange, Cypress, Stanton, and Buena Park.

The district is currently represented by Republican Ed Royce.

[edit] History

The seat was originally one of five reapportioned to California after the 1970 U.S. Census, but its boundaries have shifted radically through successive redistricting efforts. At various times it has included parts of Orange and San Diego counties, and from 1993 to 2003 it covered eastern San Bernardino and Inyo counties. The district as currently drawn was created for the 108th Congress following the 2000 U.S. Census. As of the 112th Congress, this district is the smallest congressional district by area in the United States to be represented by a Republican.
