Cardwell (electoral district)

Cardwell (electoral district)

Cardwell, a federal electoral district in the Canadian province of Ontario, was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1867 to 1904. Cardwell is sometimes also considered one of Ontario's historic counties, as Cardwell was listed in some post-Confederation census records as a county of residence.

Cardwell consisted of the Simcoe County townships of Adjala and Mono, and the Peel County townships of Albion, Bolton and Caledon.

The Cardwell electoral district was abolished in 1903 when it was redistributed between Dufferin, Peel and Simcoe South ridings.
