[edit] History

The riding of "Royal" was created in 1914. The name came from the counties of Queens and Kings, of which it was composed.

In 1966, Royal riding was amalgamated with most of Albert County and a rural portion of Saint John County into a new riding, "Fundy—Royal". One parish in Queens county was reapportioned into York—Sunbury at this time. In the 2003 redistribution, it lost almost all of Queens County and a large part of Kings County to other ridings; while gaining western Westmorland County. The riding was renamed "Fundy". This name was changed to "Fundy Royal" in 2004.

The riding has been one of the most supportive of the Conservatives in the country, returning a member of that party or its predecessors in every election, except for 1993 when Liberal Paul Zed won. (Zed now represents the riding of Saint John). Another member, John Herron, switched to the Liberals in 2003, but was defeated in the 2004 federal election.
