Ohio's 19th congressional district was created following the
2000 census. Between 1863 and 1880, it was represented by future US President James A. Garfield
, who became the only sitting House member ever to be elected to the Presidency.
From 1992–2002 it included all of Lake County and Ashtabula County together with a collection of eastern suburbs of Cleveland. After 2002 it was replaced by the 14th district.[1] Parts of its old territory were redistricted into the 10th, 11th, and 13th districts.
