City of Londonderry

The City of Londonderry parliamentary constituency was a single member constituency in the Parliament of Northern Ireland. It was created in 1929, as one of the five single member constituencies replacing the former five member Londonderry constituency. The constituency included the eastern part of the city of Derry and its environs including the Waterside district and Eglinton area. The seat was held continuously by Ulster Unionist Party candidates, although it was often contested by other parties. The constituency was last contested at the 1969 General Election. The Northern Ireland parliament was suspended in 1972 and abolished in 1973. In elections to various Northern Ireland assemblies and forums which sat from 1973 to 1986 the area formed part of a revived Londonderry constituency. Since the abolition of the 1982–1986 Northern Ireland assembly the area has been part of the Foyle constituency.
