Alabama's 9th congressional district was formerly apportioned to portions of central and western Alabama from 1893 until 1963 when the seat was lost due to reapportionment after the 1960 United States census.
Highlights
Formed in 1893, the district was first represented by Louis Washington Turpin, a self-educated tax assessor from Hale County. The district was represented by Democrats during the whole of its existence except from 1896–1897 when Truman Heminway Aldrich, a Republican, unseated Oscar W. Underwood in a post-election contest.
The 1960 United States census and the subsequent reapportionment decreased Alabama's representation in the United States Congress.
