Victoria was a federal electoral district in Alberta, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1909 to 1925. This riding was created in 1907, two years after Alberta was created as a province, from parts of Edmonton and Strathcona ridings. It took its name from the Victoria Settlement on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River. When first created, it was huge, covering most of the northeast quadrant of the province of Alberta.[1]
The Victoria riding was abolished in 1924 when it was redistributed into Battle River, Camrose, and two newly created ridings, Vegreville and Wetaskiwin.
