It initially consisted of:
the Fraser-Cheam Regional District; and
the part of the Central Fraser Valley Regional District lying east of Bradner Road in Matsqui District Municipality.
In 1987, it was redefined to consist of:

This riding was created from parts of Fraser Valley, Kamloops and Okanagan Boundary, which elected two Progressive Conservatives and a Social Credit (Fraser Valley) in the last election. Alexander Bell Patterson was the incumbent from Fraser Valley.
