Kilbride is a defunct provincial electoral district for the House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

Contents

In 2011, there were 10,251 eligible voters living within the district. [1]

The district was created prior to the 1975 election out of parts of St. John's South and St. John's North. It was abolished in 2015 and replaced by Waterford Valley, Mount Pearl-Southlands, Ferryland, Mount Pearl North and St. John's West.

The district made up the southern portion of the city of St. John's, including the rural neighbourhoods of the Goulds and Kilbride. Agriculture was an important industry in the district.

It was one of the strongest Progressive Conservative (PC) districts in the Newfoundland and Labrador, voting 85% for the Tories in the 2007 election. Since its creation, it had always returned a PC MHA to the House of Assembly.
