Replacing the former district of Richmond-Cape Breton West, it was created in 1933 when the counties of Cape Breton and Richmond were divided into three new electoral districts. In 1992, it was renamed Richmond. In 2013, at the recommendation of the Electoral Boundaries Commission, the district was renamed Cape Breton-Richmond, gained the town of Port Hawkesbury from Inverness and expanded northeast to include the area east of East Bay and west of the Mira River to Morley Road from Cape Breton West.[1] Following the 2019 electoral boundary review, it lost Port Hawkesbury to Inverness and some territory to Cape Breton East, and reverted to the name Richmond.
A provincial district of Richmond existed from 1867 to 1925. It elected two members, through Block Voting, in this period.[2]
The land area of Richmond is 1,308 km2 (505 sq mi).[3]
Prior to dissolution of the Legislative Assembly, the electoral district was represented by the following members of the Legislative Assembly:
