It is located in southern British Columbia. Communities in the electoral district consist of Merritt, Hope, Lillooet, Logan Lake, Lytton, Ashcroft, and Cache Creek.^[1]

Members of the Legislative Assembly

Because of the re-alignment of electoral boundaries, most incumbents did not represent the entirety of their listed district during the preceding legislative term. Harry Lali, first elected in the 2005 election to the Yale-Lillooet riding, became the district's first MLA. He was defeated by Jackie Tegart in the 2013 election.
