Edmonton East (formerly known as Edmonton Centre-East) was a federal electoral district in Alberta, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1917 to 2015.

Contents

The district included a portion of the city of Edmonton.

Geography

The district at first was a far-flung mixed urban and rural riding that extended from the North Saskatchewan River into the Northland northeast of Edmonton. It covered the area stretching north and east of the connection of 101st Street and the North Saskatchewan River, in the middle of present-day Edmonton, all the way to the north boundary of Alberta. [3] [4]

In 1924 it was compressed to nearby farmland north of Edmonton (an area that is within the present limits of Edmonton), plus on the north side of the river the whole of Edmonton lying east of 101st Street, and on the south side of the river the area lying within Edmonton and east of the C&E line. [5]

Later, it became an urban riding within the City of Edmonton.

In 1966, it was in the area lying north of 98th Avenue and east of 101st Street.

In 1976, it was entirely on the north side and between Groat Road/109th Street and 97th Street. [6]

History

This riding was originally created in 1914 as "Edmonton East" from Edmonton and Victoria ridings. At the time of its creation, this district included a massive, sparsely populated rural area. Most of this area was removed due to the creation of Athabaska in 1924, and although it gained some back when Pembina riding was abolished in 1987, it became a fully urban riding by the end of its existence.

In 1924, it took in parts of the now-abolished Strathcona riding that had been within Edmonton city limits. [7]

As Edmonton's population has grown, Edmonton East also lost urban territory to new ridings. Edmonton East lost territory due to the creation of Edmonton—Strathcona (in 1952), Edmonton Centre (1966), Edmonton North (1976), and Edmonton Northwest (1987). It gained area due to the (temporary) abolition of Edmonton Centre in 1976.

In 2000, it was renamed "Edmonton Centre-East". In 2003 Edmonton Centre-East was abolished and its territory reassigned to a re-created Edmonton Centre, a new Edmonton East riding, and Edmonton—Sherwood Park.

The new "Edmonton East" riding was created from parts of Edmonton Centre-East and the dissolved riding of Edmonton North.
