|From 1846 to 1857, district numbering was not utilized by the Iowa State Legislature. This convention was added with the passing of the 1857 Iowa Constitution. Numbering of districts pre-1857 is done as a matter of historic convenience.{{cite web |title=1846 Iowa Constitution |url=https://publications.iowa.gov/17470/1/1846IA%20const.pdf}}
