HISTORICAL SUNNARY 0F FLORIDA'S SENATE AFFORTIONNENY
l388 IUSS

A Congressional Act or March 30, 1322, provided for the territOrial
government of Florida. Executive power We: vested in the GovernOr;
legislative power was vested in the Governorandin thirteen of the most
fit and discreet persons or the territory" who collectively were known
as the Legislative Council: and judicial powerwasplnced in two Superior
Courts. and in such inferior Courts and Justices of the Peace, as the
Legislative Council might, from time to time establish.

On February 28, 1838. the Legislative Council by legislative act called
a constitutional convantion to organize a state government, and to term
and adopt a bill or rights and constitution. The framing and adoption
of Florida's Iirst constitution was completed on January 3. 1839. When
the document wan ratified, it was submitted to Congress and an applica-

tion was tiled tor the admission at the territory of Florida into the
Union as t state.

It was in this convention of 1838 that nrovisions were tirst mane tor
the establishment of senatorial districts.

In this period of territorial history, Florida was a large, sparsely
settled land mass. Ihc prevailing philosophy of the day advocated that
reprQSentation in the upper house should be based on area. However.
representation by population was not to be denied. The 1838 constitu~
tional convention and all subsequent conventions have made provisions
for the apportionment of the Senate according to formulas embodying same
ratio of population to land boundary groupings.

The constitution o! 1838 called for n state cenSns in ants and every
tenth year thereafter. It was provided that the number of senators was
to be not less than One-fourth nor more than one-half the number or
representatives (the number a: representatives was limited to sixty).
and the senatorial districts were to be as nearly eqnal in population
as possible. Sixteen senatorial districts were established. Leon
County. the seventh senatorial district, had two senators. while all
other districts were to have one senator. The second and tittennth
districts were each composed of two counties, the sixteenth had three
counties, and all Others were single county districts. Practically all

of the senatorial districts were concentrated in the more densely popu
lated areas or North Florida. Four counties made up the one and one:.
half districts in South Florida. and the remaining sixteen counties
compriSCd the fourteen and one-halt district: at the northern portion
or the territory.

On Harch 3. 1845. the Congress or the United States admitted Florida
into the Union on an equal footing with the other states.

By 1861 when the second constitutional convention was called, Florida
had experienced steady growth. The eastern port of the state. particu-
larly the Duval area. absorbed a large percentage oithentates increane
in population. Meantime, South Florida was showing evidence of settle-
ment. The 1861 constitution provided that another census would be taken
in 1565 and ewery tenth year thereafter. The 1865 apportionment. as
compared to the one in 1833. shows that the dunner of counties grew by
993. and the number at senatorial districts increased more than 455.
North Florida acquired nine of the new districts, and four were allotted
to the southern portion or the state. In this apnortionnent, hilla-
borough and Walton were set apart as separcte districts. All other new
districts were therennlt ot subdividing the more densely populated conn-
ties into new units. Twenty-nine senatorial districts were established
according to the formula that the number or senators should not be less
than one-fourth nor more than one-halt the number at representatives.

Under the 1865 constitution. no district was entitled to more than One
SE 115.! or o

The 1585 constitution provided for en apportionment in 1887. The number
or senators was limited to thirtytwo. The new arrangement 0! districts

embodied the loan of one district tor North Florida. while South Florida
gained tour.

Between 1887 and 1935 there was no reepportionoent of senatorial dis-

tricts. in new counties were formed. they remained withinthereanective
district boundaries established in 1887.

By 1923. the character 0! Floridas popnIAtion pattern wnseonaiderahly
modified; Inventors. speculators and migrants were attracted from all
over the nation to the noon in South Florida. Areas which a short time
beiore had been uninhabited waste lands were thriVinn with activity. and
already there was indication that the center or population use shifting
from North to South Florida. The evidence of this new surge or growth
gave the 1933 Legislature sotticient concern to reappOrtion the state on
a more representative basis. A constitutional amendment was proposed
which called tor a reapportionnent or the Senate in 1915 and every ten
years thereafter. and the creation of six additional districts. This
legislation was approved by the people in the election at 1924. and in
1935, the legislature gave tour of the six new senatorial cents to South

3.

Florida. When the 1925 Legislative Apportionment Act was enacted. siXty-
three counties were in etistence. However, pTOVieions were made for the
creation of Gulf, lndian River and Martin Counties in 1925. In the
extraordinary session of 1925. provisious were made ior the creation 02
Gilchrisr County on January a, 1926. These counties remained in their
respective senatorial districts. With the crestion oi these lasr tour
counties and the establishment o! the thirty-eight senatorial district
limitation at :923. the present basis for senatorial reapportionment had
its beginning.

The following decennial renpportionment in 1933 evidenced no change in

the apportionment status or 3935. The Legislature met and placed its
stamp on the apportionment law of the preceding decade.

In inns. Governor Caldwell. under constitutional mandate. called the
Legislature into extraordinary session to renpportion the State Senate.
In this session, eight senatorial distriCts were shifted around and

South Florida acquired two at the North Florida diatricta. The tollowI

ing table shows a comparison between Earth and South Florida with regard
to grouth and change in the number of counties and senatorial districts
during the period 1838 and 1955.

The significant feature in the above table is the change from 1887 to
29:5 in the senatorial district and county pattern of the state. Over
this period, North Florida had an increase or only one~holi of one dis-
trict as contrasted to the increase or iive and one-half districts for
South Florida. The county numerical total was altered by North Florida
receiving five additional counties, while South Florida acquired a nub-
stantial addition of thirteen new counties. In no other period or
Florida history has there been e comparable Alteration of county and
senatorial district a1ignments. Since than time, the trend has been
toward a slight decrease in northern senanorial districts and a minor

3

increase in the southern senatorial districts._ Nithout same knowledge
01 the boundary changes which took place in the political subdivisions
of the state, it is difficult to visualize the transition uhich took

place in Florida between t887 and 1925. The following schedule of senate
apportionment shows these changes.
