History

The riding of "Royal" was created in 1914. The name came from the counties of Queens and Kings, of which it was composed.
In 1966, Royal riding was amalgamated with most of Albert County and a rural portion of Saint John County into a new riding, "Fundy—Royal". One parish in Queens county was reapportioned into York—Sunbury at this time. In the 2003 redistribution, it lost almost all of Queens County and a large part of Kings County to other ridings; while gaining western Westmorland County. The riding was renamed "Fundy". This name was changed to "Fundy Royal" in 2004. As per the 2012 federal electoral redistribution, this riding will gain territories from Beauséjour, Saint John and New Brunswick Southwest, and lose a small territory to the new riding of Saint John—Rothesay.
The riding has been one of the most supportive of the Conservatives in the country, returning a member of that party or its predecessors in every election, except for the 1993 election when Liberal Paul Zed won and the 2015 election when Liberal Alaina Lockhart won.
