History
Parry Sound—Muskoka was created in 1947 from parts of Muskoka, Nipissing and Parry Sound ridings.
It consisted initially of the territorial districts of Parry Sound and Muskoka (excluding the township of Baxter), and the following townships in the territorial district of Nipissing: Ballantyne, Wilkes, Pentland, Boyd, Paxton, Biggar, Osler, Lister, Butt, Devine, Bishop, Freswick, McCraney, Hunter, McLaughlin, Bower, Finlayson, Peck, Canisbay and Sproule.
In 1966, it was redefined to consist of the territorial districts of Muskoka and Parry Sound, and Georgian Bay Islands National Park except Flower Pot Island.
In 1976, it was redefined to consist of the Territorial District of Parry Sound, the District Municipality of Muskoka, and the part of Territorial District of Nipissing lying south and west of and including the townships of Ballantyne, Boulter, Lauder, Boyd, Lister, Freswick, Bower and Sproule. In 1987, the Nipissing portions of the riding were removed.
In 1996, the riding was expanded to include the townships of Sherborne, McClintock, Livingstone, Lawrence and Nightingale in the County of Haliburton. The towns of Powassan and Trout Creek and the townships of Nipissing, North Himsworth and South Himsworth in the Territorial District of Parry Sound were excluded from the riding.
In 2003, it was given its current boundaries as described above. There were no changes after the 2012 electoral redistribution.
