In 1861, he moved to New Westminster, where he sold stoves and hardware. In 1864, he took over the Vancouver Coal Co. in Nanaimo. In 1867, Cunningham was elected to the assembly for Vancouver Island and voted for the union of the two colonies. From 1867 to 1882, he lived in Salem, Oregon, where he was a merchant and manufacturer of wagons, carriages and agricultural implements. Cunningham then returned to New Westminster, again employed as a hardware merchant. He later became involved in fruit growing and raising Jersey cattle. Cunningham served on the New Westminster municipal council and was president of the British Columbia Agricultural Society. He was elected to the provincial assembly in an 1889 by-election held after William Norman Bole was named a judge. Cunningham married Emily Woodman in 1864. In 1900, he was named provincial horticulturist. In 1906, he was British Columbia's first inspector of fruits. Cunningham died in Vancouver at the age of 70.
