'''Elbridge Gerry''' was [[Vice President of the United States]] under [[Thomas Jefferson]] and [[James Madison]] from 1813 to 1814.  He previously served as Governor of [[Massachusetts]].  The phrase "[[gerrymander]]" was coined because a new district (in Massachusetts) had been shaped like a [[salamander]].  <ref> [[Fandex]], Workman Publishing, 2002.  </ref>
