Cumberland (Nova Scotia provincial electoral district)
(Redirected from Cumberland (Nova Scotia electoral district))
Cumberland was a provincial electoral district in Nova Scotia, Canada, that, at the time of its dissolution, elected two members to the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. The district existed from 1867 until 1949, when the County of Cumberland was divided into three electoral districts: Cumberland East, Cumberland West and Cumberland Centre.[1]
Members of the Legislative Assembly
editExcept for a brief period from 1916-1933 when it elected three members, Cumberland almost always elected two members to the Nova Scotia Legislature.
