Colorado's 3rd congressional district, Congressional district in Western Colorado, United States
The third congressional district covers much of western Colorado and stretches from the slopes of the Rocky Mountains to the dry plateaus near the Utah border. The region spans many counties and connects towns with very different climates and terrain.
The district was created in 1913 and its boundaries have been adjusted several times over the decades to reflect shifts in population distribution. Ben Nighthorse Campbell represented the area between 1987 and 1993 before moving to the Senate.
The district includes cities like Grand Junction, Durango, and Aspen, where residents participate in regular local festivals celebrating regional agriculture and mountain traditions.
Visitors or residents wanting to know which district covers a specific address can use the map on the GovTrack website, which shows current boundaries and representatives. The information is updated after each census to reflect changes in seat allocation.
The district contains approximately half of Colorado's total land mass while maintaining a population of 730,686 people across both urban and rural territories.
