See District of Maine.

Maine was formerly a district of Massachusetts. After the 1810 census, Massachusetts was allocated 20 districts. Seven districts were credited to Maine when it became a state in 1820. At times in its history, Maine has had as many as 9 congressional districts (including an At-large district for brief periods). All but the 1st and 2nd districts have become obsolete.
