Wellington (Ontario provincial electoral district)

Wellington was a provincial electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that existed at various times throughout the province's history. It was located in southwestern Ontario and primarily encompassed areas within Wellington County.

The riding was not consistently present in the Ontario Legislative Assembly. Its boundaries shifted over time as electoral district boundaries were redrawn to reflect population changes and evolving political landscapes. Different versions of Wellington have existed, often encompassing different combinations of townships and municipalities within Wellington County.

Historically, Wellington was considered a mixed riding, with both rural agricultural areas and smaller urban centers. The political leanings of the riding varied over time, reflecting the changing demographics and priorities of its constituents. Different political parties held the seat during its existence, including the Progressive Conservatives, Liberals, and New Democrats.

For specific details regarding the boundaries, historical election results, and representatives of a particular iteration of the Wellington riding, it is necessary to consult historical records of Ontario provincial elections and boundary maps. These records are generally maintained by Elections Ontario and the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.

The most recent version of the riding ceased to exist after redistribution of electoral boundaries. Its area was incorporated into other, newly formed ridings.
