Since Congress fixed the number of representatives in the House at 435, the number of reps each state gets is determined as a proportion of this number. Each state then gets to determine how the districts are layed out.

Outstanding explanation.  It also deserves mention, that many CD's are layed out with ethnic concerns in mind to ensure that minority candidates have a chance to elect minority candidates.  This accounts for some strangely shaped districts.
