4 Seven states have one Representative: Alaska, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, and Delaware. The total U.S. population cannot simply be divided by number of members (435) to determine apportionment.
Alaska, Delaware and Wyoming are the only states that have never had more than one district. Between 1810 and 1820, Delaware had two U.S. Representatives, but they were elected at-large.
Since becoming a U.S. state in 1959, Alaska has been entitled to one member in the United States House of Representatives, elected in the state’s sole, at-large congressional district.
