Lillooet (electoral district)
Encyclopedia
The Lillooet electoral district was a riding (provincial constituency) in the Canadian province of British Columbia
, centred on the town of the same name and with various boundaries. Originally with two members, the constituency was split into Lillooet West
and Lillooet East
in the 1894, 1898, and 1900 elections, with Lillooet West being recomprised as one riding (with only one member) in the 1903 election.
was one of the largest in the province (it is now one of the smallest). It was originally a two-member riding. It was an essentially rural riding, spanning the southern Cariboo
and the mountain country west of Lillooet
and the northern part of the Fraser Canyon
. It was succeeded by the Yale-Lillooet
riding, which is still extant.
