The district became obsolete for the 113th U.S. Congress as Iowa lost a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives as a result of redistricting based upon the 2010 census. Official redistricting maps divided the territory in this district in half, adding the northern portion to the 4th district and the southern portion to the 3rd district.
