Boundary-Similkameen

Boundary-Similkameen was a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia. It spanned the Boundary Country, around the towns of Grand Forks and Rock Creek west including Oliver and Osoyoos to the Similkameen valley towns of Keremeos and Princeton. The riding first appeared in the 1966 election as the result of a merger of the former ridings of Grand Forks-Greenwood (1924-1963) and Similkameen. The same area is now part of West Kootenay-Boundary.

For other historical and current ridings in the region, see Kootenay (electoral districts) and Okanagan (electoral districts).
