Ohio's 19th congressional district
Obsolete district
Created1830
Eliminated2010
Years active1813-2013

Ohio's 19th congressional district was created following the 1830 census and was eliminated after the 2000 census. Between 1863 and 1880, it was represented by future US President James A. Garfield, who became the only sitting House member ever to be elected to the Presidency.

From 1992–2002 it included all of Lake County and Ashtabula County together with a collection of eastern suburbs of Cleveland. After 2002 it was replaced by the 14th district.[1] Parts of its old territory were redistricted into the 10th, 11th, and 13th districts.
