Key Takeaways

  • •The state is split into 3 big areas called districts.
  • •District 1 is all the counties next to the ocean, like San Diego.
  • •District 2 is the counties not by the ocean and north of a line near Fresno, Inyo, and San Benito.
  • •District 3 is the counties not by the ocean and south of that same line.
  • •The people in charge can change these areas if they really agree and tell everyone first.

Los Angeles is a county next to the coastline, so it is part of District 1.
