In the 2009 electoral redistribution, Mount Lorne was separated, with the Hamlet of Mount Lorne merging with the riding of Southern Lakes to create Mount Lorne-Southern Lakes[1] and the rest of the riding merging with part of the former riding of Copperbelt to form Copperbelt South.
The riding was largely considered a New Democrat stronghold.
