[1] The seat for Dunvegan in the Leglislative Assembly was held by the governing party for every year it existed.

The first riding named Dunvegan was created out of the western half of Peace River in 1959.

In 1986 Dunvegan was re-created, replacing all of Spirit River-Fairview and a small part of Smoky River.

In that election, the governing Progressive Conservatives would win the riding for the first time, despite an NDP surge elsewhere in the province.
