[edit] History

The riding of Dartmouth—Halifax East was created in 1966 when the former dual-member Halifax riding was split into two. The district consisted of the Dartmouth area, Bedford and most of eastern Halifax County. Bedford was moved to the riding of Halifax West in a 1976 redistribution. In 1987, the Dartmouth riding was created, taking in nearly all of the former territory of Dartmouth—Halifax East.

The current electoral district of Dartmouth—Cole Harbour was created in 2004: 86.8% of the population of the new riding came from Dartmouth, and 13.2% from Sackville—Musquodoboit Valley—Eastern Shore. The riding experienced its first election on June 28, 2004. The incumbent from the majority of the district was Wendy Lill of the New Democratic Party. Michael Savage of the Liberal Party won the election, and continues to be the riding's sitting MP.
