Contents
This riding was created in 1896 by combining the former Yale and Cariboo ridings. A redistribution in 1903 split off the eastern portion of the riding as the Kootenay riding from the Yale portion of Yale–Cariboo. It was abolished in 1914 and the Yale riding name restored, although on a smaller scale and actually without the town of Yale in the riding (it was in Fraser Valley), and also excluding Salmon Arm and Kamloops, which were part of the Cariboo portion of Yale–Cariboo, were reassigned to the Cariboo riding.
