[edit] History
Prior to the 1999 boundary realignment, Parry Sound and Muskoka were two distinct ridings.

It initially consisted of the District Municipality of Muskoka, the Territorial District of Parry Sound (excluding the towns of Powassan and Trout Creek and the townships of Nipissing, North Himsworth and South Himsworth) and the township of Sherborne and Others (formerly Sherborne, McClintock, Livingstone, Lawrence and Nightingale) in the County of Haliburton.
In 2003, it was given its current boundaries as described above.
