History

The electoral district was created in 1966 from parts of Prince and Queen's ridings.

There were no boundary changes as a result of the 2012 federal electoral redistribution.

Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, the riding gained the remainder of North Shore and the North Shore Fire District, plus everything west of Highway 6 between them from Cardigan, and lost the Bedeque area plus some areas east and southeast of Summerside, and lost newly annexed territory by the City of Charlottetown in the Marshfield area to Charlottetown. These changes came into effect upon the calling of the 2025 Canadian federal election.

Student vote results

2011

In 2011, a student vote was conducted at participating Canadian schools to parallel the 2011 Canadian federal election results. The vote was designed to educate students and simulate the electoral process for persons who have not yet reached the legal majority. Schools with a large student body that reside in another electoral district had the option to vote for candidates outside of the electoral district then where they were physically located.
