History Bay of Quinte was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and was legally defined in the 2013 representation order. It came into effect upon the call of the 2015 Canadian federal election, held 19 October 2015. It was created out of parts of the electoral districts of Prince Edward—Hastings (62%) and Northumberland—Quinte West (38%). It originally contained the municipalities of Prince Edward County, Quinte West and the part of Belleville south of Highway 401.

Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, it lost the area of Quinte West north of the 401 and east of the Trent River (except for the Frankford area) to Hastings—Lennox and Addington—Tyendinaga.
