Nipissing (electoral district)
Nipissing was a Canadian electoral district, which existed from 1892 to 2003.
When it was first created, the riding took in the eastern half of Northeastern Ontario, including the towns of North Bay and Sudbury. Before 1892, this region was part of the electoral district of Algoma.
In 1947, the Sudbury riding was created from the western portion of Nipissing.
In 2003, Nipissing was merged into the new district of Nipissing—Timiskaming .
