When it was organized in 1788 it covered Baltimore, Baltimore County, and Harford County. According to the 1790 Census, the Fourth District had a population of 53,913, nearly 20% of whom were slaves.[25]

In 1792, the Fourth District was moved to western Maryland, with its eastern boundary being a north to south line running about the midpoint of Frederick County, Maryland. The new district had a population of 36,026, with less than 10% of the population being slaves.[26] The 1800 Census population was 38,015, and the boundaries remained unchanged in 1802.[27]
