Winnipeg (federal electoral district)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Winnipeg was a federal electoral district in Manitoba, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1882 to 1917.

This riding was created in 1882 from parts of Selkirk riding.

It was abolished in 1914 when it was redistributed into Winnipeg Centre, Winnipeg North and Winnipeg South ridings.

It consisted of the city of Winnipeg and the municipality of Fort Rouge.
