Cranbrook (electoral district)
Encyclopedia
Cranbrook was the name of a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia
centred on the town of Cranbrook
in the southern Rockies
and including nearby Kimberley
and other towns in the southern end of the Rocky Mountain Trench
.
Cranbrook riding made its first appearance on the hustings in the election of 1903
. In a redistribution
after the 1963 election the area covered by this riding was incorporated into the new Kootenay
riding (same name but smaller than the original 1871-vintage Kootenay riding).
For other current and historical electoral districts in the Kootenay
region, please see Kootenay (electoral districts)
