Restigouche—Madawaska
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Restigouche—Madawaska was a federal electoral district in New Brunswick, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1917 to 1968.
This riding was created in 1914 from parts of Restigouche and Victoria ridings.
With the 1966 redistribution, Madawaska County was moved to the new Madawaska—Victoria riding, while Restigouche County became the district of Restigouche.
