Stony Plain (named Stonyplain until 1909) was a provincial electoral district in Alberta, Canada, between 1905 and 2019.[1] The district returned a single member to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta throughout its history, using the first past the post method of voting for most of its existence but single transferable vote from 1926 to 1957. The district was created in 1905 when Alberta became a province. The riding in its original boundaries stretched from the west Edmonton city limits to the British Columbia border, but over time it was significantly reduced in size.
