Glengarry-Prescott was created in the 1952 redistribution from Glengarry and Prescott ridings. The name was changed to Glengarry-Prescott-Russell in 1970. In 1996 there were only minor changes. In 2004, a portion of the riding extending southeast to the St. Lawrence River was moved into Stormont riding.
