Elgin (also known as Elgin—Norfolk) was a federal electoral district represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1935 to 1997. It was located in the province of Ontario. This riding was created in 1933 from parts of Elgin West and Norfolk—Elgin ridings.

It initially consisted of the county of Elgin, including the city of St. Thomas. In 1966, it was redefined to consist of the County of Elgin and the Village of Belmont in the County of Middlesex. In 1987, it was redefined to consist of the County of Elgin and the Township of Norfolk in the Regional Municipality of Haldimand-Norfolk.

The name of electoral district was changed in 1990 to Elgin—Norfolk.

The electoral district was abolished in 1996 when it was redistributed between Elgin—Middlesex—London and Haldimand—Norfolk—Brant ridings.

gollark: This is why my "design language" mostly has buttons with small margins, 1px borders, and no roundedness.

gollark: It's like notches - you theoretically have a bunch of area in the box/screen, but can't use it properly because a bit is cut off.

gollark: I feel like rounded corners mostly just waste space.

gollark: Also excessive margins.

gollark: Yes, space-wasting, there are useless rounded corners, an excessively large send button, and that sort of thing.
