St. Vital (electoral district)

St. Vital (Template:Langx) is a provincial electoral district of Manitoba, Canada. It was originally established in 1870, disestablished in 1879, and re-established by redistribution in 1957 into the modern riding.

Template:AnchorHistorical riding

The original St. Vital riding was established at the time of the province's creation in 1870, as one of twelve "francophone" constituencies. It was eliminated in 1879, after a redistribution process which reduced the level of francophone representation in the province.
