Richmond (British Columbia Provincial Electoral District)
Richmond was a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia. It made its first appearance on the hustings in the election of 1903. It lasted until the 1920 election, after which a redistribution combined it with parts of the City of Vancouver to form Richmond-Point Grey. There was again an electoral district called Richmond in the 1986 provincial election.
