Peace River (provincial Electoral District) - History

History

The electoral district was established when the province was created in 1905. The district boundaries have been revised many times over the last century but have still consisted of a vast rural swath of North West Alberta.

The 2010 boundary redistribution saw the district gain a portion of land that belongs to the Municipal District of Northern Lights that was in the old Dunvegan-Central Peace district.
