- Digby and Annapolis
-
Digby and Annapolis was a federal electoral district in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1917 to 1935.
This riding was created in 1914 from parts of Digby and Annapolis ridings. It consisted of the county of Annapolis and the county of Digby without the municipality of Clare. In 1924, the municipality of Clare was added to the riding, so that it consisted of the counties of Digby and Annapolis. Its name was changed in 1924 to Digby—Annapolis.
The riding was abolished in 1933 when it was divided between Digby—Annapolis—Kings and Shelburne—Yarmouth—Clare ridings.
