History
Numbered legislative districts did not exist in Wyoming prior to 1992, as all House districts were apportioned among the 23 counties of Wyoming, with each county electing between one and nine representatives using plurality block voting. The apportionment being strictly based on counties led to the state house map having a representational deviation of over 83 percent, violating the principle of one man, one vote.[2] This setup was struck down by the courts in Gorin v. Karpan, and Wyoming has used a single-member district plan ever since.[3]
Geography

House District 1, along with House District 52, is nested into Senate District 1.[4]
