History

[edit]

The Edmonton-Belmont electoral district was created prior to the 1971 Alberta general election from the Edmonton North East electoral district.[2]

The Edmonton-Belmont electoral district was abolished in the 1993 boundary redistribution and was combined with a small portion of Edmonton-Beverly to form Edmonton-Manning electoral district.
