Representatives
Vermont had district representation upon admission as the 14th State on March 4, 1791. From 1813-1821, beginning with the 13th Congress, Vermont elected its US Representatives statewide At-Large. After the 16th Congress, Vermont returned to electing Congressmen from districts. Vermont returned to a single At-large district after losing its second Representative following redistricting resulting from the 1930 Census.
