This article is about the district abolished at the 2013 redistribution and known as Fredericton South from 1974-2006. For currently active electoral district, see Fredericton South.
It was created in 1973 as Fredericton South and included those portions of the old multi-member district of Fredericton south of the Saint John River. It lost eastern territory in the 1994 electoral redistribution to the new district of Fredericton-Fort Nashwaak and again lost eastern territory in 2006 this time to the new district of Fredericton-Lincoln. Its name was changed in 2006 to Fredericton-Silverwood to prevent confusion among city residents who would identify with "Fredericton South" as residents of the south side of the Saint John River, many of whom were not in the district.
The district was a bellwether, having been won by the governing party in every general election from its creation through its abolishment.
The previous multi-member riding of Fredericton went totally Progressive Conservative in the last election, with Everett Chalmers being one of two incumbents.
