In 1966, it was defined to consist of the City of Kingston, the Townships of Howe Island, Kingston and Wolfe Island, and the southwest part of the Township of Pittsburg, in the County of Frontenac; and the Township of Amherst Island in the County of Lennox and Addington. In 1996, the Township of Pittsburgh portion of the riding was redefined to consist of the part of the township lying to the south of Highway 401. In 2003, it was redefined to consist of the Township of Frontenac Islands and the City of Kingston in the County of Frontenac. In 2013, the riding's borders were adjusted to remove the area north of Highway 401 from the riding, which became part of a new district, Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston. These new borders came into effect for the 2015 federal election.
