'''Chambly''' was an electoral district of the [[Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada|Legislative Assembly]] of the [[Parliament of the Province of Canada|Parliament]] of the [[Province of Canada]], in [[Canada East]].  It was created in 1841, based on the previous electoral district of the same name for the [[Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada]], for an area south of [[Montreal]]. It was represented by one member in the Legislative Assembly.

The electoral district was abolished in 1867, upon the creation of [[Canada]] and the province of [[Quebec]].

== Boundaries ==

The ''[[Act of Union 1840|Union Act, 1840]]'' merged the two provinces of [[Upper Canada]] and [[Lower Canada]] into the [[Province of Canada]], with a single [[Parliament of the Province of Canada|Parliament]].  The separate parliaments of Lower Canada and Upper Canada were abolished.<ref>[https://www.solon.org/Constitutions/Canada/English/PreConfederation/ua_1840.html ''Union Act, 1840'', 3 & 4 Vict., c. 35], s. 2.</ref>

The ''Union Act'' provided that the pre-existing electoral boundaries of Lower Canada and Upper Canada would continue to be used in the new Parliament, unless altered by the ''Union Act'' itself.<ref>[https://www.solon.org/Constitutions/Canada/English/PreConfederation/ua_1840.html ''Union Act, 1840''], ss. 16, 18.</ref> The Chambly electoral district of Lower Canada was not altered by the Act, and therefore continued with the same boundaries which had been set by a statute of Lower Canada in 1829:

{{block indent | 1=The County of Chambly shall be bounded on the north west by the [[Saint Lawrence River|River Saint Lawrence]], on the south east by the [[Richelieu River|River Richelieu or Chambly]], together with all the Islands in the River Saint Lawrence, and in the River Richelieu or Chambly, nearest to the said County, and in whole or in part fronting the same, on the south west by the north east boundaries of the Seigniories of [[La Prairie, Quebec|Laprairie]] and [[Léry, Quebec|De Lery]], and on the north east by the County of Verchères comprehending the Seigniories of [[Boucherville]], [[Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville|Montarville]], [[Longueuil]], Fief Trembly, Chambly West, and the Barony of Longueuil, within the said limits.<ref>[http://www.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.9_00926_39/478?r=0&s=1 ''An Act to make a new and more convenient subdivision of the Province into Counties, for the purpose of effecting a more equal Representation thereof in the Assembly than heretofore'', SLC 1829, c. 73, s. 1, para. 22.]</ref>}}

The electoral district was located south of Montreal, in the [[Montérégie]] region.  The elections were held at Longueuil.<ref>[http://www.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.9_00926_39/488?r=0&s=1 ''An Act to make a new and more convenient subdivision of the Province into Counties, for the purpose of effecting a more equal Representation thereof in the Assembly than heretofore'', SLC 1829, c. 73, s. 3.]</ref>

== Members of the Legislative Assembly (1841–1867) ==

Chambly was a single-member constituency.<ref>[https://www.solon.org/Constitutions/Canada/English/PreConfederation/ua_1840.html ''Union Act, 1840''], s. 18.</ref>

The following were the members of the Legislative Assembly for Chambly.  The party affiliations are based on the biographies of individual members given by the [[National Assembly of Quebec]], as well as votes in the Legislative Assembly. "Party" was a fluid concept, especially during the early years of the Province of Canada.<ref>J.O.
