Gerrymandering is named after a governor of Massachusetts, Elbridge Gerry. He created a district that looked like a salamander, hence the word gerrymander. He also had a street named after him in Cambridge, Gerry’s Landing. That's so funny! As soon as I posted the word, I just knew that someone would be presumptuous enough to give us the definition history. You won!
