Russell (Manitoba electoral district)

Russell was a provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba.

The original Russell riding was created in 1886, shortly after the expansion of Manitoba's western boundaries.

The town of Russell was the main urban centre in this riding, which also included Birtle, Inglis, Angusville, Rossburn, Erickson, Oakburn, Shoal Lake and Hamiota.

Russell remained primarily an agrarian riding, with agriculture accounting for 32% of its industry.

The last MLA was Len Derkach of the Progressive Conservative Party, who held the riding of Roblin-Russell from 1986 to 1999.
