George-Étienne Cartier (electoral district)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George-Étienne Cartier was a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1917 to 1925.

This riding was created in 1914 from parts of Maisonneuve and St. Lawrence ridings. It consisted of the St. Louis and St. Jean Baptiste wards of the city of Montreal.

The electoral district was abolished in 1924 when it was redistributed into Cartier, St. James and St. Lawrence—St. George ridings.

It was named in honour of the Quebec politician George-Étienne Cartier.
