Winnipeg North (provincial Electoral District)
Winnipeg North was a provincial electoral division in Manitoba, Canada. It existed on two separate occasions.
It was initially created for the 1883 provincial election, and abolished with the 1920 election when Winnipeg became a single, ten-member constituency.
Winnipeg North was re-established for the elections of 1949 and 1953 as a four-member constituency. In 1958, it was divided into several single-member constituencies.
