Lincoln and Niagara

Lincoln and Niagara

Lincoln and Niagara was a federal electoral district represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1883 to 1904. It was located in the province of Ontario. This riding was created from parts of Lincoln and Niagara ridings.

It was initially defined as consisting of the town and township of Niagara, the city of St. Catharines, the townships of Grantham, Clinton and Louth, and the villages of Beamsville, Merritton and Port Dalhousie.

In 1892, the townships of Pelham and Gainsborough were added to the riding.

The electoral district was abolished in 1903 when it was redistributed between Lincoln and Welland ridings.
