It was created as "Témiscouata" riding by the British North America Act, 1867. In 1959, it was renamed "Rivière-du-Loup—Témiscouata" and defined to consist of:
- the county of Témiscouata;
- the county of Rivière-du-Loup (except the parish municipalities of Notre-Dame-du-Portage and Sainte-Françoise and the municipalities of Saint-Jean-de-Dieu and Trois Pistoles) and the city of Rivière-du-Loup.
In 1966, it was redivided into the ridings of Kamouraska and Témiscouata. The new Témiscouata riding consisted of:
- the City of Rivière-du-Loup;
- the Towns of Cabano and Trois-Pistoles;
- the County of Rivière-du-Loup (except the parish municipalities of Notre-Dame-du-Portage and Saint-Antonin);
- parts of the County of Témiscouata; and
- parts of the County of Rimouski.
The riding was again renamed "Rivière-du-Loup—Témiscouata" in 1972.
Rivière-du-Loup—Témiscouata was abolished in 1976 when it was redistributed into the ridings of Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup and Rimouski.

gollark: This is not* worrying as it's in some internal `markStackAndRegisters` function.
gollark: I'm impressed with how many errors about uninitialized values and such valgrind is coming up with.
gollark: `onThreadDestruction` does not appear to work.
gollark: I know how to close the connection, I just don't know how to do it *on exit* as it's stored in a threadvar.
