Westminster-Richmond

Westminster-Richmond was a provincial electoral district of British Columbia, Canada, from 1894 to 1900.[1] It and its sister ridings (Westminster-Delta, Westminster-Dewdney, and Westminster-Chilliwhack) were successors to the old four-member Westminster riding, which appeared in 1890 only and was a subdivision of the older New Westminster (provincial electoral district) riding. Westminster-Richmond was succeeded by the Richmond riding in the election of 1903.
