\1\ March 4, 1789 until May 20, 1997.
\2\ Some of the larger states split into smaller states as the country grew westward (e.g., part of Virginia became West Virginia); hence, some
individuals represented more than one state in the Congress.
\3\ North and South Dakota were formed from a single territory on the same date, and they shared the same delegates before statehood.
\4\ The Territory Northwest of the River Ohio was established as a district for purposes of temporary government by the Act of July 13, 1787. Virginia
ceded the land beyond the Ohio River, and delegates representing the district first came to the 6th Congress, March 4, 1799.
