Durham (previously known as Clarington—Scugog—Uxbridge ) is a provincial electoral district that has been represented in the Ontario Legislative since 1999.
The Durham provincial riding was created in 1999 when Ontario adopted federal riding boundaries for provicnial elections purposes. the federal riding was created in 1987.
It consisted initially of the Township of Scugog, Scugog Indian Reserve No. 34, the Town of Clarington, and the part of the City of Oshawa lying north of a line drawn from west to east along Taunton Road, south along Ritson Road North, east along Rossland Road East, south along Harmony Road North, and east along King Street East.
The electoral district was abolished in 2003 when it was redistributed between Clarington—Scugog—Uxbridge, Oshawa and Whitby—Oshawa ridings.
Clarington—Scugog—Uxbridge was defined to consist of the townships of Uxbridge and Scugog, the Municipality of Clarington, and the Mississaugas of Scugog Island Indian reserve.
In 2004, Clarington—Scugog—Uxbridge was renamed Durham riding.
