Longsight is an electoral division of Manchester City Council which has been represented since 1890. It covers the South Manchester suburb of Longsight, as well as a small part of Gorton.

Overview

Longsight ward was created in 1890,^[1] as a result of the Manchester Extension Scheme 1890, which transferred the townships of Blackley, Crumpsall, Moston, Newton, Openshaw, and parts of Gorton to the Manchester corporation.^[2] Initially, it covered that part of the incorporated area of Gorton to the south of Hyde Road. In 1919,^[3] that part of the Rusholme ward to the east of Birchfields Road was transferred to the ward. Further city-wide boundary revisions in 1950 transferred that part of the ward to the east of the Crewe-Manchester Line to the St. Mark's ward.^[4] Another boundary revision in 1971 transferred that part of the former St. Mark's ward to the south of Hyde Road to the ward,^[5] these boundaries were unaffected by a further revision in 1982.^[6] In 2004, that part of the ward to the north of Daisy Bank Road and Kirmanshulme Lane was transferred to the Ardwick ward.^[7] At the latest revision in 2018,^[8], that part of the former Gorton South ward between the Hope Valley Line and the Nico Ditch was transferred to the ward.

From its creation until 1918, the ward formed part of the Manchester South Parliamentary constituency.^[9] From 1918 until 1950, it was part of the Manchester Rusholme Parliamentary constituency.^[10] From 1950 until 1983, it was part of the Manchester Ardwick Parliamentary constituency. From 1983 until 2024, it was part of the Manchester Gorton Parliamentary constituency. Since 2024, it has formed part of the Gorton and Denton Parliamentary constituency.
