History

The riding was created in 1976 from parts of Grenville—Carleton and Ottawa—Carleton. In 1987, it was abolished when it was redistributed between Nepean, Carleton—Gloucester and Lanark—Carleton ridings.

In 1996, it was re-created from parts of Nepean, Carleton—Gloucester, Lanark—Carleton and Ottawa South ridings.

It consisted initially of the townships of Goulbourn, Osgoode and Rideau, and the City of Nepean, excluding the northeastern part lying north and east of a line drawn from the western city east along the Queensway (Highway 417), southwest along Richmond Road, east along the Canadian National Railway, north along Merivale Road, and east along the northern boundary of the National Capital Commission buffer zone to the eastern city limit.

It was given its current boundaries described above in 2003.

The riding has been represented by Conservative Pierre Poilievre since 2004.
