The riding was known as Bulkley Valley-Stikine from its first creation in 1991 until the 2009 election. Following the Electoral Districts Act, 2008, which came into effect upon the dissolution of the BC Legislature in April 2009, the riding was renamed Stikine. Following the 2021 British Columbia electoral redistribution that took effect for the 2024 election, it returned to its original name but did not undergo any boundary changes.[1]
