The riding was created in 2003 and consists of 68 percent of the Whitby—Ajax district, 20 percent of the Oshawa district and three percent of the Durham.{{cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/canadavotes/riding/206/|title=Canada Votes 2006: Whitby-Oshawa|accessdate =2007-08-01|publisher=CBC|year=2006 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20070613162244/http://www.cbc.ca/canadavotes/riding/206/ |archivedate = 2007-06-13}} The provincial electoral district was created from the same ridings in 2007.
It consists of the Town of Whitby and northwestern section of the City of Oshawa (specifically, the portion of the city lying north and west of a line drawn from the western city limit east along King Street West, north along the Oshawa Creek, east along Rossland Road West, north along Simcoe Street North, and east along Winchester Road East to the eastern city limit).
For the 2018 election, Whitby-Oshawa was re-districted as Whitby to more closely correspond to the actual town's borders.
