Dufferin (electoral district)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dufferin was a federal electoral district represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1904 to 1925. It was located in the province of Ontario. This riding was created in 1903 from parts of Cardwell, Grey East, Simcoe South, Wellington Centre and Wellington North ridings.

It consisted of the county of Dufferin.

The electoral district was abolished in 1924 when it was merged with Simcoe South to create the new electoral district of Dufferin—Simcoe.
