Rocky Mountain House (electoral District)
Rocky Mountain House was a provincial electoral district in Alberta, Canada. The district was one of 83 current districts mandated to return a single member to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta using the first past the post method of voting since 1959. Prior to that Single Transferable Vote was in use but no election went to a second count.
The district which was located in central western rural Alberta was created from parts of four electoral districts in the 1940 boundary redistribution. It is named after the town of Rocky Mountain House.
The district was favorable to electing Progressive Conservative candidates since 1971. It was only held by four representatives.
The district was replaced in the 2010 Alberta electoral boundary re-distribution with Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre.

Dragging saddles—

“There is a mountain in the distant West
That, sun-defying, in its deep ravines
Displays a cross of snow upon its side.
Such is the cross I wear upon my breast
These eighteen years, through all the changing scenes
And seasons, changeless since the day she died.”

“Every burned book or house enlightens the world; every suppressed or expunged word reverberates through the earth from side to side.”
