Historically, representatives were apportioned by community. For the first 150 persons, one representative was granted, and this ratio increased as the population of the town increased. This was ultimately changed to its current regional population system in the 20th Century . Each Massachusetts Representative represents about 39,682 residents. Representative districts are named for the counties and former counties they are in, and tend to stay within one county, although districts occasionally cross county lines. The Speaker of the House is Salvatore DiMasi . With 138 seats out of 160, Democrats hold a Supermajority in the House. There are 21 Republican members and no independents.
