History

This district was created in 1987 from Kamloops—Shuswap and Okanagan North ridings.

In 1996, the riding was abolished and replaced by "North Okanagan–Shuswap". In 1997, the name of this riding was changed to "Okanagan—Shuswap". There were no elections during this time. The riding was abolished again in 2003, and was again replaced by a riding called "North Okanagan—Shuswap". In 2004, the name was changed back to "Okanagan—Shuswap".

The 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution concluded that the boundaries of Okanagan—Shuswap should be adjusted, and a slightly modified electoral district will be contested in future elections under the name "North Okanagan—Shuswap".[8] The redefined North Okanagan—Shuswap gains an area previously in the district of Kootenay—Columbia comprising the small community of Needles and its environs. These new boundaries were legally defined in the 2013 representation order, and came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, scheduled for October 2015.
