History
Sudbury electoral district was created in 1947 from parts of Nickel Belt and Nipissing ridings. It consisted initially of the city of Sudbury and a part of the territorial district of Sudbury.
In 1952, it was redefined to consist of the city of Sudbury, the township of McKim, and the town of Copper Cliff. In 1966, the Township of McKim was removed from the riding.
In 1976, it was redefined as the northern part of the City of Sudbury. In 1996, it was redefined as the part of the City of Sudbury north of a line drawn from east to west along Highway 69, south along Long Lake Road, and west along the north boundary of the geographic Township of Broder.
In 2003, it was given its current boundaries as described above.
