This district was created in 2003 from parts of
Cariboo—Chilcotin and
Prince George—Bulkley Valley ridings. The
2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution concluded that the electoral boundaries of Cariboo—Prince George should be adjusted slightly, and a modified electoral district of the same name will be contested in future elections. The redefined Cariboo—Prince George lost a small portion of its current territory in the upper Bella Coola Valley to the district of
Skeena—Bulkley Valley but is otherwise unchanged. These new boundaries were legally defined in the 2013 representation order, came into effect upon the call of the
2025 Canadian federal election, held on October 19. It is proposed that the riding's name be changed to
Cariboo—Prince George—Omineca as part of
Bill C-25 of the
45th Canadian Parliament. ==Demographics==
