## History

Vaughan—Woodbridge was first proposed as part of the 2012 electoral district redistribution to contain the City of Vaughan west of Highway 400 and south of Major Mackenzie Drive. It was legally defined in the 2013 representation order and came into effect upon the dropping of the writs for the 2015 federal election.
Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, the riding's border with King—Vaughan west of Islington Avenue will be re-routed to follow Major Mackenzie Drive for its entirety. It will gains Vellore Village west of Highway 400 from King—Vaughan. The changes will come into effect upon the calling of the 2025 Canadian federal election.
