Victoria is a federal electoral district in British Columbia, Canada, that has been represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1872 to 1904 and since 1925.
It was originally chartered as Victoria District for the special byelections held in 1871 upon the province's entry into Confederation but like the other B.C. ridings with that appellation the "District" was dropped once the temporary ridings were ratified and made "permanent" for the general election of 1872, which was the first in which the Victoria riding (by that name) appeared. From 1905 up until the 1925 election Victoria was represented by the riding of Victoria City.

[edit] History
This electoral district was created in 1872 when Victoria District riding was abolished. It elected two members to the Canadian House of Commons.
In 1878, Sir John A. Macdonald was parachuted into the riding, as he was unelectable in the wake of the Pacific Scandal eastern Canada. Victorians voted for him enthusiastically, as he promised to finally bring about the construction of what we become the Canadian Pacific Railway. In the fall, he was also acclaimed as member for the Marquette riding in Manitoba.
It was abolished in 1903, and split into Victoria City and Nanaimo ridings.
It was re-created in 1924 from the Victoria City riding, electing one member to the House of Commons.
