History

Boundaries

The current riding was created in 2003 as Charlevoix—Montmorency from parts of Beauport—Montmorency—Côte-de-Beaupré—Île-d'Orléans, Charlesbourg—Jacques-Cartier and Charlevoix ridings. Its name was changed to Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord after the 2004 election.

Following the Canadian federal electoral redistribution, 2012, the riding was renamed Beauport—Côte-de-Beaupré—Île d'Orléans—Charlevoix from Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord,^[4] with the eastern part of the riding becoming a part of the neighbouring riding of Manicouagan.

Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, the riding was largely be replaced by Montmorency—Charlevoix. It lost the Chutes-Montmorency area to Beauport—Limoilou, gained the territory east of Ch. de Château-Bigot and Av. du Bourg-Royal and north of Boul. Louis-XIV from Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, and gained the municipalities of Lac-Beauport and Sainte-Brigitte-de-Laval from Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier.

The riding of Charlevoix—Montmorency also existed from 1914 to 1924. It was created from parts of Charlevoix, Chicoutimi—Saguenay and Montmorency ridings. It initially consisted of the parishes of St. Tite, St. Féréol, St. Joachim, Château Richer, Ste. Anne and the village of Ste. Anne.

The electoral district was abolished in 1924 when it was redistributed into Charlevoix—Saguenay and Quebec—Montmorency ridings. Its only Member of Parliament was Pierre-François Casgrain of the Liberal Party of Canada. The renamed Beauport—Côte-de-Beaupré—Île d'Orléans—Charlevoix riding lost territory to Manicouagan and Beauport—Limoilou, and gained territory from Beauport—Limoilou during the 2012 electoral redistribution.
