The district was established in 1994, when the board transitioned from holding elections in individual districts, as opposed to the previous practice of holding a set of two at-large elections (one for ten seats from the city of Chicago and another for seven seats from suburban Cook County).[1]

Geography

1994 boundaries

When the district was first established, the district represented parts of the North Side of Chicago and the northern suburbs of Cook County.[2]

2001 redistricting

New boundaries were adopted in August 2001, with redistricting taking place following the 2000 United States Census.[3]

The district's new boundaries entirely laid within the city of Chicago. It represented parts of the North Side of the city.[4][5]

The district included the neighborhoods of Lakeview, Uptown, and Rogers Park.

2012 redistricting

The district currently, as redistricted in 2012 following the 2010 United States Census, strongly resembles the geography it took in its previous, 2001, redistricting.[4][6][7] It continues to lay entirely within the city of Chicago, representing parts of the city's North Side.[6][7]

The district is 16.29 square miles (10,426.27 acres).[6]

Politics

The district has only ever been represented by Democratic commissioners.
