History
From 1913 to 1993, Montana had two congressional seats. From 1913 to 1919, those seats were elected statewide at-large on a general ticket. After 1919, however, the state was divided into geographical districts, with the 1st district covering the western part of the state, including Missoula , Great Falls , Butte , and Helena . After 1993, the 2nd district was eliminated and the remaining seat was elected at-large .
Following the release of the 2020 United States census results, Montana was once again split into two congressional districts.[3] The reconstituted 1st district covers the western third of the state, in a configuration similar to the 1983–1993 map. However, Helena was drawn into the reconstituted 2nd district.
