Massachusetts's at-large congressional seat

From 1793 to 1795 only, Massachusetts elected one of its fourteen representatives to the United States House of Representatives statewide at-large. He was David Cobb.

Other than that single 2-year period, Massachusetts has never elected a member of the U.S. House of Representatives at-large.
