History

edit

Soon after the province of Alberta was established in 1905, this electoral district was created in 1907. It conformed to parts of the new provincial boundaries – combining the old Alberta riding (covering a southern portion of the old Alberta provisional district) with part of the old Assiniboia West riding.[9]

During the 2012 electoral redistribution, "Medicine Hat" was largely succeeded by "Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner", losing territory to Bow River and Battle River—Crowfoot, and gaining territory from Lethbridge and Macleod.[10]
