Creston (electoral district)
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Creston was a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia. It first appeared on the hustings in the general election of 1924 and its last appearance was in the 1928 election. Following redistribution, the area was combined with the Nelson riding to create the new (and now current) riding of Nelson-Creston in the 1933 election.
