Electoral History for Cape Breton West
In 1932, the County of Cape Breton was divided into five electoral districts: Cape Breton North, Cape Breton East, Cape Breton South, Cape Breton Centre, and Cape Breton West. (SNS 1932 c.19)
Cape Breton West was created from polling districts Two, Three, Eighteen, and Twenty-one, formerly part of Cape Breton Centre; polling districts Eleven and Twelve, formerly part of Cape Breton East; and polling districts Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Thirteen, Fifteen, Sixteen, Seventeen, Twenty-Four, and the town of Louisburg, formerly part of Richmond-West Cape Breton.
In 2003, Cape Breton West remained substantially the same, with minor adjustments to its boundaries with Cape Breton South, Cape Breton Centre, and Glace Bay. It gained the area on the north side of East Bay along highway 216 to include the Eskasoni Reserve (SNS 2002, c.34)
Following the 2012 Electoral Boundary Commission Report, Cape Breton West was renamed Sydney River - Mira - Louisbourg.

Electoral History for Cape Breton North
In 1933, the County of Cape Breton was divided into five electoral districts: Cape Breton North, Cape Breton East, Cape Breton South, Cape Breton Centre, and Cape Breton West. (SNS, 1932 c.19)
Cape Breton North consisted of that portion of the County of Cape Breton contained within polling district Four and the town of Sydney Mines, formerly part of Cape Breton East; and polling districts Nine, Ten, Fourteen, Nineteen, Twenty-two, Twenty-three, and the town of North Sydney, formerly part of Cape Breton Centre.
In 2003, Cape Breton North expanded southward toward Sydney to include upper North Sydney as far as Balls Creek and expanded westward to include Point Aconi (SNS 2002, c.34).
In 2013, following the recommendation of the Electoral Boundaries Commission this district was renamed Northside-Westmount and it lost the area west of Little Bras d'Or which includes Point Aconi to Victroia-The Lakes. It expanded southward to gain the area norht of Highway 125, including the Westmount area, from Cape Breton South.
