Appellate Districts
1921-1955

(9 Districts)

A series of constitutional amendments adopted in 1912 changed the name of the circuit courts to courts of appeal and required the General Assembly to divide the state into "appellate districts of compact territory bounded by county lines." In 1921, Lorian, Medina, and Summit counties were combined with Wayne county from the Fifth District to form a new Ninth District. Except for the transfer of Guernsey county from the Seventh to the Fifth District in 1935, the nine districts remained unchanged until 1955.
