Toronto West (provincial electoral district)

Toronto West, also known as West Toronto, was a provincial electoral district that was created in Toronto, Ontario in 1867 when the country of Canada was established and the Province of Ontario was established. At the time Toronto was divided into two districts, West Toronto and Toronto East. It existed from 1867 to 1886 and from 1894 to 1914.

In 1886, Toronto's two districts were dissolved and a single district covering the entire city was created. It elected three members.

In 1894 the city-wide district was split into four parts, of which a new Toronto West was one. The district of Toronto West covered the western part of the old city of Toronto. From 1908 to 1914 it elected two members to the legislature. Each of the members were elected in separate first past the post contests.

In 1914 the Toronto West district was abolished. The districts of Toronto East, Toronto North, Toronto South and Toronto West were replaced by Toronto Northeast, Toronto Northwest, Toronto Southwest and Toronto Southeast, which were constituted as two-member districts. Parkdale and Riverdale were created as single-member constituencies. The members in the two-seat districts were elected using separate first past the post contests.
