Saint-Maurice (electoral district)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saint-Maurice was a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1867 to 1892 and from 1968 to 2004.
The riding was first created in 1867 and merged with the district of Trois-Rivières in 1933 to form Three Rivers and St. Maurice. Saint-Maurice was re-established as a district in 1966 out of the former districts of Champlain and Saint-Maurice—Laflèche. The district was abolished in 2003 when it was redistributed into Berthier—Maskinongé and Saint-Maurice—Champlain ridings.
