History
The electoral district was created as "Rivière-du-Loup—Montmagny" in 2003 55.5% from Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup—Témiscouata—Les Basques and 44.5% from Bellechasse—Etchemins—Montmagny—L'Islet ridings.
Its name was changed after the 2004 election to "Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup". The district did not have any boundary changes as a result of the 2012 federal electoral redistribution.
Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, the riding was largely replaced by Côte-du-Sud—Rivière-du-Loup—Kataskomiq—Témiscouata, gaining the Témiscouata Regional County Municipality from Rimouski-Neigette—Témiscouata—Les Basques in the process.
