Historical district boundaries
From 2003 through 2013, the district consisted of many of San Bernardino's central suburbs, including San Bernardino, Ontario and Fontana. Due to redistricting after the 2010 United States census, the district has moved south west into South Los Angeles and now includes Hawthorne and Inglewood.
