History

This riding was created in 1996 as "West Kootenay—Okanagan" from parts of Kootenay West—Revelstoke and Okanagan—Similkameen—Merritt ridings.

It consisted of:

Kootenay Boundary Regional District;
subdivisions A and B of Central Kootenay Regional District; and
the eastern part of Subdivision B of Okanagan-Similkameen Regional District.

It was renamed "Kootenay—Boundary—Okanagan" in 1998.

In the 2003 redistribution, the riding was replaced by the new riding of Southern Interior, with a small part being redistributed into Kootenay—Columbia and a small part added from Okanagan—Coquihalla.

In 2004, its name was changed to "British Columbia Southern Interior".
