Victoria City (provincial electoral district)

Victoria City was one of the first twelve provincial electoral districts in the province of British Columbia, Canada, upon its entry into Confederation that year. It was originally a four-member riding, and elected to the Legislature several prominent members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) and premiers. It last appeared on the hustings in the 1963 election.
