Lethbridge City

Lethbridge City was a provincial electoral district in Alberta, Canada.

The riding was created after Lethbridge split into Lethbridge City and Lethbridge District in 1909.

Lethbridge district was all the rural area surrounding the City of Lethbridge.

In 1913, Lethbridge District was split into Little Bow and Taber.

After Lethbridge District disappeared there was no need to differentiate itself, and thus "City" was dropped in 1921 and Lethbridge was re-formed.
