Note
A regular form, with one -ed spelling doing duty for both the simple past and the participle. The verb is transitive, so the participle sits naturally in the passive: a city districted for schools, counties districted for voting. After had or been it is always the participle. The obsolete adjective district, meaning harsh or stringent, has no part in it. Only the verb of dividing into districts yields this form.
