Hastings—Frontenac

Hastings—Frontenac (also known as Hastings—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington) was a federal electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1953 to 1968, and from 1979 to 2004.

This riding was originally created in 1952 from parts of Frontenac—Addington and Hastings—Peterborough ridings.

It consisted of:

The electoral district was abolished in 1966 when it was redistributed between Frontenac—Lennox and Addington, Hastings, Peterborough and Victoria—Haliburton ridings. Hastings—Frontenac was re-created in 1976 from parts of Frontenac—Lennox and Addington, Hastings, and Victoria—Haliburton ridings. The new riding consisted of:

In 1987, it was redefined to consist of:

(b) the County of Lennox and Addington but excluding the Township of Armherst Island;

The electoral district was abolished in 2003 when it was redistributed between Kingston and the Islands, Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington and Prince Edward—Hastings ridings.
