The district was created in 1966 with a boundary that is similar to what it is today.

It's northern section reaches east to the north end of Harrison Lake to include a number of smaller Indigenous communities.

The district was created in 1966 as West Vancouver-Howe Sound, was renamed in 1988 to West Vancouver-Garibaldi, and again in 2008 to West Vancouver-Sea to Sky.

Please note, that these redistributed results are based on the 2023 riding boundary changes in West Vancouver section of the riding, but the underlying data has limitations. In the riding due to the COVID-19 pandemic in British Columbia, 23.8% of the ballots were mail-in ballots during the 2020 election. These ballots were never associated with polling stations and areas, making any predictions inaccurate.
