Bathurst (electoral district)

Bathurst is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada. It was created in the 1967 redistribution when cities were separated from their counties and made independent districts. It was not changed in either the 1973 or 1994 redistributions but in 2006 it lost some territory to the neighbouring riding of Nepisiguit. It is one of the safest Liberal seats in the province.
