California's 12th congressional district

California's 12th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of California that is located within the city of San Francisco. It is currently represented by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.



History
When the 12th Congressional District was created after the 1930 Census, it was located in Los Angeles County. As California's population grew, however, the district generally shrank in area and progressed northward, eventually reaching the San Francisco peninsula (California political districts are generally numbered from north to south ).

Richard Nixon, the 37th President of the United States, represented this district from 1947-1951.
