History


The riding was created in 1966 from Kingston and parts of Hastings—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington and Prince Edward—Lennox.
In 1966, it was defined to consist of the City of Kingston, the Townships of Howe Island, Kingston and Wolfe Island, and the southwest part of the Township of Pittsburg, in Frontenac County; and the Township of Amherst Island in Lennox and Addington County.
In 1996, the Township of Pittsburgh portion of the riding was redefined to consist of the part of the township lying to the south of Highway 401.
In 2003, it was redefined to consist of the Township of Frontenac Islands (a 1998 merger of the Townships of Howe Island and Wolfe Island) and the City of Kingston (into which the Townships of Pittsburgh and Kingston had both been merged in 1998).
In 2013, the riding's borders were adjusted to remove the area north of Highway 401 from the riding, which became part of a new district, Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston and came into effect for the 2015 federal election. In the 2023 redistribution (coming in effect for the next federal election), the boundaries were restored to the 2003 boundaries, to be all of the Township of Frontenac Islands and the City of Kingston
