| Area (km²) | 458 |
| Pop. Density (people per km²) | 124.5 |

## Geography

The riding contains most of the city of Nanaimo plus the uninhabited Five Finger Island, Snake Island and Hudson Rocks which are in the Nanaimo C electoral area.

## History

The district was known as Nanaimo and the Islands from 1941 to 1963. It was formed of parts of the former ridings of Alberni-Nanaimo and The Islands. In the 1966 election the Nanaimo riding name was restored and the southern part of the riding became Saanich and the Islands. That area is now part of Saanich North and the Islands. An older riding with the name Nanaimo existed from 1871 to 1928.

In 1966, the riding contained the eastern and southern portions of the Nanaimo Regional District, plus Valdes Island and Lasqueti Island.

For the 1979 election, the riding shifted southwards, running from Lantzville in the north to Ladysmith in the south. It also lost Valdes and Lasqueti Islands.

From 1986 to 1991, the riding returned two members. In 1991, the riding shrunk in size. The northern part of the riding, including the northern coast of the City of Nanaimo was transferred to Parksville-Qualicum, while the southern boundary was moved up to the southern limit of the Nanaimo Regional District, except for Valdes Island, which was added back to the riding.

In 2001, the riding's western boundaries were extended to include nearly all of the Nanaimo C Electoral Area.

In 2009, the riding was drastically reduced in size, consisting solely of part of the city of Nanaimo. In the 2017 redistribution, the riding gained part of the City of Nanaimo west of the Nanaimo Parkway.
