I cannot imagine that it has not happened before
Well, yes, as noted, Massachusetts and Virginia once their rumps got big enough to overcome the loss of districts to their “daughter” states.
But other than that, usually a state that shrinks in proportion doesn’t go back up the ladder.
Montana now has over a million people. Which you don’t think is much but that makes it the state with the most people in each congressional district by 200k—over Colorado.
