User:Mr Serjeant Buzfuz/Charlevoix (Province of Canada electoral district)

Charlevoix was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly of the Parliament of the Province of Canada, in Canada East, near XXX. It was created in 1853, in a redistribution of the electoral map. It was called "Saguenay electoral district" in the 1854 general elections, but was re-named "Charlevoix electoral district" by an amendment in 1855.

Charlevoix was represented by one member in the Legislative Assembly. It was abolished in 1867, upon the creation of Canada and the province of Quebec.

Boundaries
In 1853, the Parliament of the Province of Canada passed a new electoral map. The 1841 Saguenay district was divided into three new districts, called Saguenay, Chicoutimi, and Tadousac. Those boundaries and names of the electoral districts were used in the 1854 general elections.

In 1855, the year after the elections, the provincial Parliament passed further amendments to the new electoral map. The new Saguenay electoral district was re-named the Charlevoix electoral district, but with no change to the 1853 boundaries. The Tadousac electoral district was re-named the Saguenay electoral district, but again, with no change to the 1853 boundaries.

Members of the Legislative Assembly

Abolition
The district was abolished on July 1, 1867, when the British North America Act, 1867 came into force, creating Canada and splitting the Province of Canada into Quebec and Ontario. It was succeeded by electoral districts of the same name and boundaries in the House of Commons of Canada and the Legislative Assembly of Quebec.
