History
The Lethbridge City electoral district was created after the Lethbridge electoral district was split into the Lethbridge District and Lethbridge City electoral district in 1909.
Lethbridge district was all the rural area surrounding the City of Lethbridge, which in 1913, was split into Little Bow and Taber.
After Lethbridge District was dissolved there was no need to differentiate itself, and thus "City" was dropped in 1921 and Lethbridge was re-formed.
