History of the Calgary district

When the Calgary district was created in 1884, it elected accountant and rancher James Geddes as its representative in the 1st Council of the North-West Territories. Although most of the represented parts of the Territories held elections in 1885, Geddes' term was extended. He resigned the following year.

In 1886 the Calgary district was made a double-member district, with candidates elected by the plurality at-large voting method. Four candidates contested the by-election, with North-West Rebellion veteran John Lauder and Calgary Herald publisher Hugh Cayley becoming Members of the Territorial Council. Lauder retired after two years.

When the Council was dissolved and the Territories' first general election was held in 1888, two challengers ran in Calgary. Cayley was re-elected alongside newcomer John Lineham, who won the most votes of the three men.

In the second general election, there were no challengers, and both men were re-elected by acclamation.

The Calgary district was split into East Calgary, West Calgary and High River in 1894. Cayley retired from politics, while Lineham won re-election in High River.
