Arthur is a former provincial electoral district of Manitoba, Canada. It was created in 1903,[1] and was eliminated by redistribution in 1989, when its territory was combined with that of the neighbouring Virden riding to create the new constituency of Arthur-Virden.[2][3]
The riding was located in the province's southwestern tip, and was primarily agrarian.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". From 1953 until its abolition, it was a safe seat for the Progressive Conservative Party.[1][4]
