North Carolina in the 1900s

North Carolina State Senate

1965-1966

This General Assembly met from February 3rd to June 17th in 1965. An Extra Session was convened from November 15th to November 17th in 1965. A second Extra Session was convened from January 10th to January 14th in 1966.

The 1963 NC Legislature finalized the Senate reapportionment based upon the 1960 U.S. Census, and it was implemented in this General Assembly. The number of Senate districts was increased from thirty-three (33) to thirty-six (36). The number of Senators remained constant at fifty (50).

However, these Senate districts would be re-adjusted again during this session (in the 2nd Extra Session during 1966), and this re-adjustment would be implemented in the next General Assembly (1967-1968), reverting back to the thirty-three (33) Senate districts, as before.
