History


Willingdon-Two Hills was formed from the abolished Willingdon riding expanded south in 1963 when Vegreville merged with Bruce, to form Vegreville-Bruce. Due to the expanded boundaries the riding name was changed to Willingdon-Two Hills.

Willingdon-Two Hills was dissolved following the 1971 electoral district re-distribution, and the territory was incorporated into Vegreville and Redwater-Andrew electoral districts.

Willingdon-Two Hills is named for the former town of Willingdon, Alberta and town of Two Hills, Alberta.
