List of members of the Massachusetts United States House delegation, their terms in office, district boundaries, and the district political ratings according to the CPVI. The delegation has a total of 9 members, all of whom are members of the Democratic party.
Article I of the United States Constitution allocated 8 seats to Massachusetts. After the 1790 Census, Massachusetts had 14 seats. From 1793 to 1795, Massachusetts apportioned 13 of its 14 seats into 4 districts, elected on a general ticket; the remaining seat was elected At-large. In 1795, Massachusetts returned to single-representative districts, abolishing the at-large district and plural districts.
