Pakan was a provincial electoral district in Alberta, Canada, mandated to return a single member to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta using first-past-the-post balloting from 1909 to 1913. [1]
The riding was created in 1909 when Victoria shifted its boundaries west into Sturgeon. The riding was named after the small community of Pakan, Alberta, which is currently known as Fort Victoria, Alberta. Today, the site of the community is a historical museum known as Victoria Settlement.
The riding existed in the central north east part of the province, along the Alberta-Saskatchewan border. [2] It disappeared in 1913 when it was split into Beaver River and St. Paul.
