North Carolina
State Senate |
|
1836-1837 |
|
This General Assembly met from November 21, 1836 to January
23, 1837.
Per the 1835 North Carolina Constitution Convention, the Senate
was authorized a total of fifty (50) delegates from fifty (50)
districts apportioned on approximately equal populations. After
each U.S. Census, these districts were to be adjusted, again
based on approximately equal populations. Each delegate was elected
for a two (2) year term of office.
During the 1836 session, the NC Legislature created Davie
County, but it was not until 1842 that Davie County began sending
delegates to the General Assembly.
