Maryland's 5th congressional district comprises all of Charles, St. Mary's, and Calvert Counties, as well as portions of Prince George's and Anne Arundel Counties. The district is currently represented by Democrat Steny Hoyer, the House Minority Whip. When it was formed in 1788, the 5th Congressional District centered on Salisbury, Maryland. It consisted of the current Maryland Counties of Caroline, Dorchester, Wicomico, Somerset and Worcester. In 1792 the boundaries of Maryland's congressional districts were redrawn, and the 5th District was made to include Baltimore and Baltimore County. From 1803 to 1833, two seats were apportioned, elected at-large on a general ticket. (More from Freebase)
