Kings (Nova Scotia provincial electoral district) explained

Kings was a provincial electoral district in Nova Scotia, Canada that, at the time of its dissolution, elected two members to the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. It existed from 1867 until 1956, when Kings County was divided into the three electoral districts of Kings North, Kings South and Kings West. Apart from a brief period between 1933 and 1945, during which one member was elected, Kings always elected two members to the Legislature.[1]
