The shape of the district was changed for the elections of 2012, after Massachusetts congressional redistricting to reflect the 2010 census.[3] The new district covers central Massachusetts, including much of Worcester County, and is largely the successor to the old 3rd District. Most of the old 2nd district, including Springfield, has been moved into the new 1st district.
