History

The Maryland 6th District was one of the original Congressional Districts that had a congressman starting in 1789. At this point the district had essentially its modern boundaries,consisting of the Maryland panhandle and areas eastward, all the way to the modern western boundary of the District of Columbia. However after the 1790 census Maryland's representation increased to 8 congresspersons. The new sixth district was in the north-east corner of the state east of Balitimore, covering essentially the modern counties of Harford, Cecil and Kent.^[1]
