History

1994 redistricting

On January 14, 1994, Maryland was ordered to submit a plan for a new African American majority district on the Eastern Shore following Marylanders for Fair Representation, Inc. v. Schaefer. The U.S. District Court approved a plan to alter the boundaries of former legislative districts 36, 37, and 38, beginning with the 1994 general election. Following this, parts of Caroline County, Dorchester County, Talbot County and Wicomico County were provisioned for district 37. [9]
