Kootenay (provincial electoral district)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the provincial electoral district 1966–2001, see Kootenay East (provincial electoral district). For other ridings, see List of electoral districts in the Kootenays.
Kootenay was a provincial electoral district in the province of British Columbia, Canada, from 1871 to 1890. It was originally a two-member riding until the 1875 election; from 1878, it was a one-member seat until its partition for the 1890 election into East Kootenay and West Kootenay. For the 1966 election, the riding-name was re-established, but the area described was only the East Kootenay and included none of the West Kootenay.
