Each state has between one and four districts.  For states with multiple districts, they are named geographically.  States with two districts all give them either Northern–Southern or Western–Eastern designations.  Most states with three districts add a Middle District, with two exceptions: Illinois has a Central District instead of a Middle District, and Oklahoma has Northern, Western, and Eastern Districts.  Of the three states with four districts, New York and Texas use all four directional designations, while California has a Central District and no Western District.
