The riding of Halifax includes the communities of [[Spryfield, Nova Scotia|Spryfield]], [[Sambro, Nova Scotia|Sambro]], [[Herring Cove, Nova Scotia|Herring Cove]], [[Harrietsfield, Nova Scotia|Harrietsfield]], [[Williamswood, Nova Scotia|Williamswood]], [[Prospect, Nova Scotia|Prospect]], [[Purcell's Cove, Nova Scotia|Purcell's Cove]], [[Armdale]], [[Cowie Hill]], [[Fairmount, Nova Scotia|Fairmount]], [[Kline Heights, Nova Scotia|Kline Heights]], and the [[Halifax Peninsula|peninsula of Halifax]].

==History==

The electoral district was created at Confederation in 1867.  It returned two members until 1968.

The most notable of the riding's MPs was [[Robert Borden]], who was [[Conservative Party of Canada (historical)|Conservative]] leader from 1901–1920, and [[Prime Minister of Canada]] from 1911-1920. Borden represented the riding from 1896–1904 and again from 1909-1917. Another notable MP was [[Robert Stanfield]], leader of the [[Progressive Conservative Party of Canada|Progressive Conservative Party]] from 1967-1976, who represented the riding from 1968-1979.

Halifax was represented by the [[New Democratic Party of Canada|New Democratic Party]] from 1997 to 2015, with the [[Liberal Party of Canada|Liberal Party]] coming in second in every election from 2000 to 2015.  The riding's boundaries were re-distributed in 2004.  Before that date, it comprised the peninsula of Halifax, the community of Fairview, and part of Clayton Park.

[[Alexa McDonough]], who represented stepped down as NDP leader in 2003, but stayed on to represent Halifax in the [[House of Commons of Canada|House of Commons]]. McDonough ran for re-election against popular city councillor Sheila Fougere in 2004, who came within 1000 votes of beating the incumbent. McDonough pulled ahead based in part on a strong showing in Halifax's North End.  On June 2, 2008, McDonough announced that she would not seek re-election.<ref>
