Historic boundaries

From 1983 to 1993 the district was based in Brevard County, including the Kennedy Space Center. In 1986, weeks before the Challenger disaster, the district's then-congressman, Bill Nelson, (now Florida's Senior Senator) flew on board the Space Shuttle Columbia as part of flight 61-C.

From 1993 to 2013 the district was based in Tampa; the city's long-serving congressman Sam Gibbons, retired in 1997 after nearly 35 years in the House.
