DeutschAnnapolis East
Annapolis East was a provincial electoral district in Nova Scotia, Canada, that elected one member of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly and existed from 1956 to 1993. It was created by a division of the former district of Annapolis County into Annapolis East and Annapolis West. Annapolis East included the towns of Bridgetown and Middleton.[1] On the recommendations of the 1992 Electoral Boundaries Commission, the district was abolished and merged into Digby-Annapolis.[1]
