2017–2022

Between 2017 and 2022, the 2nd district had the same configuration as in the 2023 plan.

2005–2017

Under the 2005 plan, Guanajuato had only 14 districts. This district's head town was at San Miguel de Allende and it covered five municipalities:
  • San Miguel de Allende, Comonfort and San José Iturbide, as in the later schemes, plus Doctor Mora and Tierra Blanca.

1996–2005

In the 1996 scheme, under which Guanajuato was assigned 15 seats, the district had its head town at San Miguel de Allende and it comprised nine municipalities:
  • San Miguel de Allende, Doctor Mora, San José Iturbide and Tierra Blanca, as in the 2005 plan, plus Atarjea, San Luis de la Paz, Santa Catarina, Victoria and Xichú.

1978–1996

The districting scheme in force from 1978 to 1996 was the result of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under that plan, Guanajuato's seat allocation rose from 9 to 13. The 2nd district's head town was at León and it covered a part of that city and its surrounding municipality.
