Geography
The Oshawa riding was first formed in 1955. In 2015 the provincial districts were updated, and Oshawa gained parts of the city which were previously part the Whitby-Oshawa district. The new borders include most of the actual city of Oshawa, although it excludes the rural areas from Taunton Road, which are now part of the Durham district.
Now the riding consists of the City of Oshawa, south of Taunton Road West and Taunton Road East.
