If you read into it a little more you'll discover that key term "redistricted". In 1988-92 the 23 district was in the middle of the state near Albany. That area of New York then became the 21 district, and this area of upstate New York became the 23 district. This area of upstate New York also has been called the 20th, 22,and 24 district depending on state population trends at the time and how many districts the state was allowed by the Federal Government and the census.
