Winnipeg was a provincial electoral district of Manitoba, Canada, which was represented in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba. This district covered the whole city of Winnipeg. The district was existed in two different periods -- 1870-1883 and 1920-1949.
From 1870 to 1883, the district of Winnipeg returned a single member to the assembly. The district was named Winnipeg and St. John for the election of 1870 only, and Winnipeg thereafter. In 1883, Winnipeg was divided into the new districts of Winnipeg North and Winnipeg South; a third district of Winnipeg Centre was created in 1888.
In 1920, the district of Winnipeg came back into use, this time as a multiple member district. The district returned ten members to the legislature who were all elected citywide through Single transferable vote form of proportional representation.
The district of Winnipeg existed until 1949, when the district was divided into three districts, Winnipeg North, South and Centre, with small parts going to Kildonan-Transcona and Iberville. Each of the three districts elected four members through the continued use of STV. This was the case until 1955, when the Winnipeg districts were divided into single-member districts with the member in each elected through First-past-the-post voting.
