History

The Lethbridge District was created prior to the 1909 provincial election from the Lethbridge electoral district, which was split into Lethbridge City and the Lethbridge district. At the 1909 Liberal convention, Dr. John H. Rivers, the Mayor of Raymond was selected as the Liberal candidate over W. W. Douglas, the Mayor of Taber.

Lethbridge District was short-lived, however, when prior to the 1913 Alberta general election, it was split into Little Bow and Taber electoral districts.
