Northumberland East

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the former federal electoral district. For the former provincial electoral district, see Northumberland East (provincial electoral district). For the pre-Confederation electoral district, see Northumberland South (Province of Canada electoral district).

Northumberland East was a federal electoral district represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1867 to 1917. It was located in the province of Ontario. It was created by the British North America Act of 1867.

The original definition of the riding is not known. In 1882, the East Riding of the county of Northumberland was defined to consist of the townships of Cramahe, Brighton, Murray, Percy and Seymour, the villages of Colborne, Brighton, Campbellford, and Hastings.

The electoral district was abolished in 1914 when it was merged into Northumberland riding.
