St. Vital (electoral district)

St. Vital (French: Saint-Vital) is a provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba.

The original St. Vital riding was established at the time of the province's creation in 1870, as one of twelve "francophone" constituencies.

It was eliminated in 1879, after a redistribution process which reduced the level of francophone representation in the province.

The modern St. Vital riding was created by redistribution in 1957, and has formally existed since the provincial election of 1958.

St. Vital was bordered to the east by St. Boniface and Southdale, to the south by Riel, to the north by St. Boniface and to the west by Riel, Lord Roberts and Fort Garry (the latter two across the Red River of the North).
