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.

Contents

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).

1863 - 1873: 8 seats

The 1860 census allotted 11 seats to Virginia, but 3 were assigned to West Virginia, established in 1863. Virginia was left with 8 seats.[2] For most of this decade, however, Virginian representatives were not seated in Congress because of Virginia's secession in the Civil War. After January 26, 1870, Virginia was allowed to seat members. The state convention called for a ninth seat, at-large, but the House rejected the credentials of its claimant, Joseph Segar.[3]

In some sources, Congressmen Carlile and Whaley are shown as both starting on March 4, 1861 – which is the starting date of that Congress – but other sources list them as both being elected in district 11 which contradicts that they both served simultaneously.
