Dauphin (provincial electoral district)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For the former federal electoral district, see Dauphin
Dauphin is a former provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It was created in 1881 with the expansion of the province's western boundary, eliminated in 1886, re-established in 1892, and finally abolished in 1999. Most of its territory went to the new riding of Dauphin-Roblin, though a small amount went to the riding of Swan River.
Dauphin was initially centred around the community of Dauphin, Manitoba, though it now encompasses much rural territory as well. It was located in the province's mid-northern region, close to the provincial border with Saskatchewan.
