Rocky Mountain (provincial electoral district)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rocky Mountain was a historical Alberta provincial electoral district, that existed from 1909 to 1935.
In 1909 Rocky Mountain was formed from the western edge of Rosebud in the north part of the riding, the entire riding of Banff, the western half of High River and Macleod. As well as the north part of Pincher Creek.
In 1940 the north part of the riding merged with Cochrane to form Banff-Cochrane. Okotoks-High River expanded to fill the central portion of the riding and Pincher Creek expanded to fill the south end of the riding and became Pincher Creek-Crowsnest.
The riding ran the length of the Rocky Mountains along the Alberta / British Columbia border.
