Lethbridge (provincial electoral district)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lethbridge is was a provincial electoral district in Alberta, Canada.
The riding has existed twice. The first incarnation was in 1905 when Alberta first became a province. Lethbridge covered a large patch of southern Alberta, It was broken in to Lethbridge District and Lethbridge City in 1909. After Lethbridge District was broken up into Taber and Little Bow in 1913, Lethbridge City was all that remained, using the Lethbridge name, in 1921 Lethbridge was reformed after City was dropped from the name. In 1971 Lethbridge was split into two districts: Lethbridge East and Lethbridge West.
The riding was named after the Southern Alberta city of Lethbridge.
