History
This riding was created in 1914 from parts of Comox—Atlin riding.
It was abolished in 1976 when it was redistributed into Comox—Powell River and Nanaimo—Alberni ridings.
It was recreated in 1987 from parts of those two ridings. The new riding consisted of:
- the town of Comox;
- the city of Courtenay;
- Electoral Areas A, B and C of Comox-Strathcona Regional District;
- the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District;
- Electoral Areas E, F, G and H of Nanaimo Regional District;
- that part of Electoral Area C of Nanaimo Regional District lying west of the east boundary of Dunsmuir Land District;
- Electoral Area E of Powell River Regional District;
- the Village of Cumberland; and
- the towns of Parksville and Qualicum Beach.
The electoral district was abolished in 1996 when it was merged into Nanaimo—Alberni riding.
