Naming the Congressional Districts

[Heisenberg]

Here are a few:

AL-01: Gulf Shores
AL-02: Wiregrass
AL-03: Talladega
AL-04: South Cumberland Plateau
AL-05: North Alabama
AL-06: Greater Birmingham
AL-07: Birmingham-Selma-Montgomery

AZ-01: Navajo-Hopi
AZ-02: Cochise-Tucson
AZ-03: Sonora
AZ-04: *
AZ-05: East Valley
AZ-06: Paradise Valley
AZ-07: Phoenix City
AZ-08: West Phoenix
AZ-09: East Phoenix Suburbs

AR-01: East Arkansas
AR-02: Little Rock
AR-03: The Ozarks
AR-04: Hot Springs

CO-01: Denver City
CO-02: Boulder-Ft. Collins
CO-03: Grand Junction-Pueblo
CO-04: Colokansas (pronounced co-LOW-kin-saw)
CO-05: Colorado Springs
CO-06: Aurora
CO-07: Lakewood-Westminster

CT-01: Hartford
CT-02: New London
CT-03: Yale
CT-04: Bridgeport
CT-05: Housatonic Valley

(So gerrymandered, so many areas with little in common other than heavy R lean. If anyone has a suggestion, please post it.)

*Grand Canyon-Prescott?

I think the Grand Canyon is actually in the 1st. I named the first after the two largest American Indian tribes in honor of it having the highest % or Natives. I figured Prescott probably should be in the name, but it also has Yuma, Lake Havasu City, and Phoenix exburbs and more. I didn't want a super long name. Prescott-Black Mountains sounds good, I guess.

VA-01: Tidewater
VA-02: Eastern Shore
VA-03: Hampton Roads
VA-04: Greater Richmond & Hampton
VA-05: Piedmont
VA-06: Blue Ridge
VA-07: Culpepper? (This is Eric Cantor/Dave Brat's stupidly gerrymandered district)
VA-08: Arlington & Alexandria
VA-09: Appalachia
VA-10: Dulles
VA-11: Fairfax

Using my system, the different ones are:
VA-03: Norfolk City
VA-04: Richmond-Chesapeake
VA-06: Shenandoah
VA-07: York Valley?
VA-08: Arlington-Alexandria
VA-09: Blue Ridge Highlands

I use "City" for urban districts, and dashes instead of "and" in my system. Eventually I'll have all non-at large districts outside of California.
