Stormont (provincial electoral district)

Stormont was a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of Ontario, active from 1867 to 1975, which elected one member to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. The district roughly corresponded to the territory of Stormont County.

From 1867 to 1886, the town of Cornwall was served by the separate electoral district of Cornwall; in 1886, the districts were merged, and the combined district was named Cornwall and Stormont only in the 1886 election. Its name reverted to Stormont for the 1890 election, and was not changed again until the riding's dissolution in 1975.

In the electoral redistribution of 1975, Stormont was split between the new ridings of Cornwall and Stormont—Dundas and Glengarry.
