History

The electoral district of Juan de Fuca was created in the 2008 redistribution out of the ridings of Malahat-Juan de Fuca and Esquimalt-Metchosin. It was first contested in the 2009 general election, in which New Democrat John Horgan was elected MLA.

It was re-named Langford-Juan de Fuca in the 2015 redistribution and lost some territory to Esquimalt-Metchosin.

A by-election to replace John Horgan took place June 24, 2023. [2]

Under the 2021 British Columbia electoral redistribution that took effect for the 2024 election, the electoral boundaries of Greater Victoria's Western Communities were substantially realigned to add a new district. Langford-Juan de Fuca was divided, with Sooke and the Juan de Fuca communities redistributed to the new district of Juan de Fuca-Malahat while the majority of the district's population in Langford and Highlands redistributed to the new district of Langford-Highlands.
