Emerson is a former provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It was created by redistribution in 1879 and eliminated prior the 2019 general election. Most of its territory was redistributed to the newly created Borderland riding. The eastern part of the former riding was transferred to the La Verendrye riding.

Contents

It was located in the southeastern corner of the province. It is bordered to the north by Carman, Morris, Steinbach and La Verendrye, to the west by Pembina, to the east by the province of Ontario and to the south by the American state of North Dakota. The riding included the communities/municipalities of Emerson, Altona, Dominion City, Rhineland, Gretna, Woodridge and St. Jean Baptiste. [1]

The riding's population in 2008 was 20,370. [2] In 2011, the average family income was $61,951, and the unemployment rate was 2.9%. [3] Agriculture accounted for 24% of the riding's industry, followed by manufacturing at 16%. Over 27% of Emerson's residents had less than a Grade Nine education. Emerson was an ethnically diverse riding, with only 51% of its residents listing English as their mother tongue. 26% of the riding's residents listed themselves as either German, French, Ukrainian, Polish or Mennonite, while a further 5% were aboriginal.
