This district was created in 1987 from KamloopsâÂÂShuswap and Okanagan North ridings.
In 1996, the riding was abolished and replaced by "North OkanaganâÂÂShuswap". In 1997, the name of this riding was changed to "OkanaganâÂÂShuswap". There were no elections during this time. The riding was abolished again in 2003, and was again replaced by a riding called "North OkanaganâÂÂShuswap". In 2004, the name was changed back to "OkanaganâÂÂShuswap".
The 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution concluded that the boundaries of OkanaganâÂÂShuswap should be adjusted, and a slightly modified electoral district will be contested in future elections under the name "North OkanaganâÂÂShuswap". The redefined North OkanaganâÂÂShuswap gains an area previously in the district of KootenayâÂÂColumbia 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, held in October 2015.
This riding has elected the following members of Parliament:
