Following the 1975 election boundary revisions accompanied the riding's renaming to Okanagan North. The riding was originally part of the Yale riding until 1890, and when first that riding was broken up the Okanagan was in Yale-East (1894–1900), and then in Okanagan (1903–1912). Both North Okanagan and South Okanagan were created in advance of the 1916 election.
