which first established the numbered district system, replacing the previous system which allocated districts to specific counties. The 3rd district was drawn mostly in line with the previous

2nd district, but exchanged towns in southern Manitowoc for towns in southeastern Brown County, which previously made up the southern half of the Brown County 2nd district. The last representative of the Manitowoc 2nd district, Everett E. Bolle, went on to win the first election to represent the 3rd Assembly district. The boundaries of the 3rd district have changed significantly over the various redistricting laws passed since 1972. The 1982 court-ordered redistricting, which completely scrambled State Assembly districts, moved the 3rd district to southeast Milwaukee County for the 1983–1984 session. The 1983 redistricting act restored the district closer to its previous location, but located it almost entirely in
