Winnipeg South (original Constituency)
The original Winnipeg South constituency was created for the 1883 election, when the Winnipeg constituency was divided into two sections: Winnipeg North and Winnipeg South. It was created a single-member constituency, and remained this way until the 1914 election when it returned two members. From 1914 to 1920, electors were allowed to cast ballots for two seats, which were called "Winnipeg South A" and "Winnipeg South B".
Winnipeg South covered the most affluent and middle-class areas of Winnipeg, and usually supported the winning party in provincial elections. Premier Hugh John Macdonald represented the constituency from 1899 to 1900.
