Oxford North
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oxford North was a federal electoral district represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1867 to 1935. It was located in the province of Ontario. It was created by the British North America Act of 1867.
In 1882, the North Riding of the county of Oxford was defined to consist of the townships of East Nissouri, West Zorra, East Zorra, Blandford, South Easthope and North Easthope, the town of Woodstock, and the village of Embro.
In 1903, the riding was redefined to exclude the townships of South Easthope and North Easthope, and include the township of Blenheim.
In 1914, the riding was redefined to include the part of the village of Tavistock situated in the township of Zorra East.
The electoral district was abolished in 1933 when it was merged into Oxford riding.
