**Manchester North** was one of six single-member [Parliamentary constituencies](/source/Parliamentary_constituencies) created in 1885 by the division of the existing three-member [Parliamentary Borough of Manchester](/source/Manchester_(UK_Parliament_constituency)). It was abolished in 1918.

## Boundaries

The constituency was created by the [Redistribution of Seats Act 1885](/source/Redistribution_of_Seats_Act_1885), and was defined as consisting of the following areas:

- [St. Michael's ward](/source/St._Michael's_(Manchester_ward)),
- The Parish of [Harpurhey](/source/Harpurhey),
- and "so much of the Parish of [Newton](/source/Newton_Heath) as lies to the north-west of a line drawn along the centre of the Oldham Road".[1]

The next redistribution took place under the terms of the [Representation of the People Act 1918](/source/Representation_of_the_People_Act_1918). The bulk of the seat became part of the new constituency of [Manchester Platting](/source/Manchester_Platting), with parts passing to [Manchester Exchange](/source/Manchester_Exchange_(UK_Parliament_constituency)) and [Manchester Clayton](/source/Manchester_Clayton).[2]
