Information About

Cariboo (electoral District)




Cariboo was a federal Electoral District represented in the Canadian House Of Commons from 1871 to 1892. It was located in the Province of British Columbia . This riding was first created as Cariboo District following British Columbia's admission into the Canadian Confederation in 1871 . The name was changed to "Cariboo" in 1872 , and existed in this form until it was abolished in 1892 when it was amalgamated into the new riding of Yale—Cariboo . In 1914 , Yale—Cariboo was redistributed and Yale and Cariboo were separate ridings once again, though with smaller areas than before. The Cariboo riding lasted until 1966. The succession of ridings for the Cariboo area since then has been:


The Chilcotin region of the riding, west of the Fraser River , was from 1966 to 1976 part of the Coast Chilcotin riding.

The original form of the riding was the whole of the Cariboo plateau and both Cariboo and Lillooet Land District s. Its southern boundary was on the northern edge of the Vancouver riding, and later the North Vancouver riding, with near-coastal localities such as Pemberton , Squamish , Britannia Beach and Port Douglas all politically part of "Cariboo".

Cariboo was also the name of the Cariboo Provincial Electoral District . It was a three-member riding whose first representatives included George Anthony Boomer Walkem , later 3rd and 5th holder of the office of Premier Of British Columbia . It was one of the province's first twelve electoral constituencies.
