The district was created in the 1972 redistricting act
1971 Wisc. Act 304

. The 2002 court-ordered redistricting plan removed towns of Fond du Lac and southern Calumet, and added back areas of southeastern Outagamie County. The district only changed slightly in the 2011 redistricting act
2011 Wisc. Act 43
, removing the remaining towns of Brown County from the district. The 2022 court-ordered redistricting shifted the district further west, adding part of Manitowoc County and shedding towns along the east shore of Lake Winnebago.
