Glasgow was a burgh constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1832 to 1885.
History
Until 1832, Glasgow had been one of the parliamentary burghs in the Clyde Burghs constituency (also known as "Glasgow Burghs"), which was abolished by the Representation of the People (Scotland) Act 1832. The Act created the new Glasgow constituency with two seats, which was increased to three by the Representation of the People (Scotland) Act 1868.
Under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, the constituency was finally divided into seven new single-seat constituencies, with effect from the 1885 general election:
*Glasgow Blackfriars and Hutchesontown
*Glasgow Bridgeton
*Glasgow Camlachie
*Glasgow College
*Glasgow Central
*Glasgow St Rollox
*Glasgow Tradeston
