'''Elbridge Gerry''' (July 17, 1744 - November 23, 1814) was [[Vice president]] of the [[United States]] under [[James Madison]] from 1813 to 1814. He previously served as Governor of [[Massachusetts]], signed the [[Declaration of Independence]], and was a delegate to the [[Constitutional Convention]]. The phrase "[[gerrymander]]" was coined because a new district (in Massachusetts) had been shaped like a [[salamander]].<ref>[[Fandex]], Workman Publishing, 2002.</ref>
