Rosebud was a provincial electoral district in Alberta, Canada, mandated to return a single member to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1905 to 1909. [1]
The Rosebud electoral district was one of the original 25 electoral districts contested in the 1905 Alberta general election upon Alberta joining Confederation in September 1905.
The riding was short-lived, however, as it disappeared in 1909 when it was split to form the ridings of Cochrane and Didsbury as well as the north part of Rocky Mountain.
Cornelius Hiebert was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta in the 1905 general election defeating Liberal and future Member of Parliament Michael Clark in a hotly contested three way race. He was just one of two Conservatives elected to serve in the official opposition that year. Hiebert became the first Mennonite elected to the Alberta Legislature. [2]
The returning officer for the 1905 election in Rosebud was Herbert B. Adshead. [3]

The 1909 Alberta general election was the second general election held in the Province of Alberta, Canada. It took place on March 22, 1909, to elect 41 members to the 2nd Alberta Legislature. The incumbent Liberal Party led by Premier Alexander C. Rutherford achieved a re-election victory, securing a majority government by winning 36 out of the 41 seats in the legislature with just under 60 per cent of the popular vote. The Conservative Party led by Albert Robertson once again formed the official opposition, with only two members, and Robertson himself was defeated in his own seat in High River. The remaining three seats were divided among smaller parties and independent candidates.
