Notes1848–1888

Wisconsin's Washington County 2nd Assembly district was a district in the Wisconsin State Assembly for several years in the early history of the state of Wisconsin, prior to the legislative redistricting reforms of 1972 which created the current numbered districts. Located in southeast Wisconsin, the district was one of the 66 original Assembly districts defined in Article XIV of the Constitution of Wisconsin. The Constitution originally allocated five districts for Washington County, Wisconsin—which at that time also comprised all of what is now Ozaukee County, Wisconsin; the 1st district originally comprised a strip of the eastern part of that larger Washington County, including the part of what is now central Ozaukee County. Due to the timing of the 1852 redistricting versus the 1853 separation of Ozaukee County, this district was known as the Washington County 4th Assembly district in records of the 6th Wisconsin Legislature.

The district was in use for the first 38 years of Wisconsin's history, from 1848 to 1886.
