At this time it had all the Upper Peninsula except Menominee, Delta and Mackinac counties.

The southern boundary of the district was formed by Clinton, Shiawassee, Genesee, Tuscola and Huron counties.

In 1892, Clinton County was removed but the townships of Livonia, Nankin (now Westland, Michigan and surrounding cities), Redford (including the eastern portion since annexed by Detroit), Greenfield (almost all now in Detroit, except the portion that became Highland Park, Springwells (since annexed by Detroit and Dearborn), and Dearborn in Wayne County were added, as well as the part of Detroit west of Lawton.

These boundaries were not changed until 1964, when the district was redrawn to cover Jackson, Ingham, and Shiawassee counties.

In 1982 the district was redrawn to Ingham, Livingston, and northwestern Oakland counties with a finger stretching all the way to Pontiac.

Brighton and the areas directly east of it in Livingston County were also not in this district.
