Edson (provincial electoral district)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edson was a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of Alberta represented in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1913 to 1986.
[edit] History
The electoral district was created during the 1913 Alberta general election from all of Lac St. Anne and the western portions of the Innsifail, Olds, Stony Plain and Red Deer provincial electoral districts.
Despite numerous boundary revisions in the province Edson kept most of it's original area, the riding was abolished into the new West Yellowhead riding in 1986.
