## History

The Redcliff electoral district was formed prior to the 1913 Alberta general election from the Medicine Hat, Lethbridge District and Gleichen electoral districts. The Redcliff electoral district derived its name from the Town of Redcliff, Alberta.

The Redcliff electoral district was dissolved prior to the 1926 Alberta general election, and formed the new Empress electoral district.
