History
The riding of Markham–Thornhill was created after the 2014 Ontario election as a part of a provincial riding redistribution process that saw new ridings created and several existing riding boundaries changed. Markham—Thornhill is largely made up by the old riding of Markham—Unionville (which was most recently represented by long-time Liberal MPP Michael Chan) and the eastern portion of the old Thornhill riding (which has been represented by the PCs over the past decade and most recently served by first-term PC MPP Gila Martow).
