Prescott (provincial electoral district)

Prescott was a provincial electoral district in Ontario, Canada. It was located in Eastern Ontario, roughly corresponding to the geographic boundaries of Prescott County.

The riding was created in 1867 at the time of Confederation and Ontario's first provincial election. Throughout its history, it was abolished and recreated several times due to electoral redistribution and population changes.

The electoral district primarily encompassed rural areas and small towns. Agriculture was a significant part of the local economy.

The political representation in Prescott shifted between the Liberal and Conservative parties throughout its existence. The exact boundaries and period of existence for each iteration of the riding would vary depending on the specific redistribution.

The riding was often merged with, or divided into, other neighbouring electoral districts, such as Glengarry-Prescott-Russell or Stormont—Dundas—South Glengarry, during various electoral boundary reforms intended to equalize voter representation across the province. Further details about specific representatives and election results would depend on the specific time period and incarnation of the Prescott riding in question.
