Wright (electoral district)

Wright was a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1896 to 1948.

This riding was created in 1892 from parts of Ottawa County riding. The electoral district was abolished in 1947 when it was merged into Gatineau riding.

Geography

In 1892, it consisted of the city of Hull, the town of Aylmer, the township of Templeton, including the village of Pointe-à-Gatineau, the townships of Hull, Eardley, Masham, Wakefield, Lowe, Denholm, Aylwin, Hincks, Bowman, Bigelow, Blake, Northfield, Wright, Bouchette, Cameron, Wabasse, Bouthillier, Kensington, Maniwaki, Egan, Lytton, Sicotte, Aumond, Robertson, and all the unorganized territories west of the River du Lièvre to the southern boundary of the county of Montcalm.

* all of the unorganized territory bounded on the north-east by the county of Montcalm and on the east by a line formed by the production northwards of the eastern boundary line of the township of Baskatong.

In 1915, it was redefined to exclude Hull City, East and West Hull, Gatineau Point, East, West and North Templeton, and the municipality of South Hull, which were transferred to the new electoral district of Hull.
