There are 94 active United States district and territorial courts.[1] Each of the 50 states has between one and four district courts, and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico each have a district court. The insular areas of Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the United States Virgin Islands each have one territorial court; these courts are called "district courts" and exercise the same jurisdiction as district courts,[2][3] but differ from district courts in that territorial courts are Article IV courts, with judges who serve 10-year terms rather than the lifetime tenure of judges of Article III courts, such as the district court judges.[3]
The district courts were established by courthouses are named after notable judges, such as the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse in New York City or the Hugo L. Black Courthouse in Birmingham. The largest courthouse is the Thomas F. Eagleton United States Courthouse, which serves the Eastern District of Missouri.[4]
The largest courts by number of judges are Central District of California and Southern District of New York, each with 28 judgeships. The smallest are District for the Northern Mariana Islands and District of Guam, with one judgeship each.
