After the 1790 census, Massachusetts gained six seats.
In the third Congress only, there were plural districts in which more than one member would be elected from the same district and there was also an at-large seat. After that Congress, however, there would be no at-large seats and no plural seats.
After the 1800 census, Massachusetts gained three seats.
After the 1810 census, Massachusetts gained three seats to grow to its largest apportionment (so far). In 1820/21, however, seven of those seats were lost to the new state of Maine.
Following the 1820 census, Massachusetts kept its remaining 13 seats without change.
