Peterborough (electoral District)

Peterborough (electoral District)

Peterborough is a federal electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1953.

The riding's borders have differed slightly since its creation in 1953, but has always included most or all of Peterborough County and its county seat of Peterborough, Ontario. Prior to 1952, the riding was split in two, sometimes partly joined to neighbouring Hastings County. Since the late 1990s, the riding boundaries and names of the provincial and federal electoral districts have been identical.

It now consists of the County of Peterborough, excluding the townships of North Kawartha, Galway-Cavendish and Harvey and Cavan-Millbrook-North Monaghan.
