California's at-large congressional district

After statehood was achieved on September 9, 1850, and until 1865, California elected its congressional representatives statewide at-large — two representatives from September 11, 1850, to 1861, and 3 representatives from 1861 to 1865.

Also, from 1883 to 1885, California elected two of its six representatives to the United States House of Representatives statewide at-large.
