It covers the city of Kingston, Ontario and the nearby areas, including the sparsely populated Frontenac Islands in the St. Lawrence River.
The riding was created before the 1967 provincial election. Its initial area consisted of the townships of Amherst Island, Howe Island and Wolfe Island, the city of Kingston and the islands in the St. Lawrence River within the county of Frontenac.[4] In 1986, it was changed slightly to include Kingston and the three major islands plus all the land south of Highway 401 within the township of Pittsburgh.[5]
In 1996, the provincial government reduced the number of ridings in the province from 130 to 103. They also directed the new ridings to correspond to the boundaries of the existing federal ridings.[6] At that time, the federal counterpart, Kingston and the Islands, existed with the same boundaries as the current provincial riding. After the 1999 election, minor changes to the riding were made along with the federal counterpart in 2003 and 2013.[7]
