Cranbrook (electoral district)

{{Unreferenced|date=June 2019|bot=noref (GreenC bot)}}

Cranbrook was the name of a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia centred on the town of Cranbrook in the southern Rockies and including nearby Kimberley and other towns in the southern end of the Rocky Mountain Trench.

Cranbrook riding made its first appearance on the hustings in the election of 1903. In a redistribution after the 1963 election the area covered by this riding was incorporated into the new Kootenay riding (same name but smaller than the original 1871-vintage Kootenay riding).

For other current and historical electoral districts in the Kootenay region, please see Kootenay (electoral districts).

Following the 1963 election the Cranbrook riding was redistributed and a new riding, Kootenay was formed (same name as the original 1871 Kootenay riding, but much smaller in scope). The Kootenay riding combined Cranbrook with the riding of Fernie and parts of the Columbia ridings.
