# Papineau (provincial electoral district)

Papineau is a provincial electoral district located in the Outaouais region of Quebec, which elects members to the National Assembly. It notably includes part of the City of Gatineau as well as the municipalities of L'Ange-Gardien, Saint-André-Avellin, Thurso and Papineauville.
It was created for the 1923 election from part of Labelle.
In the change from the 2001 to the 2011 electoral map, it lost Val-des-Monts to Gatineau electoral district but gained some territory in the city of Gatineau from Chapleau electoral district.
The constituency or “riding” was named after Louis-Joseph Papineau, Canadian politician and leader of the Quebec Patriotes in the 19th century.
