Geography
The district includes the counties of Carleton and Victoria as well as the Parish and Village of Saint-André and the eastern part of the County of York (excluding the City of Fredericton and vicinity).
History
The electoral district was created in 1996 from portions of the old ridings of Carleton-Charlotte, Fredericton-York-Sunbury, and Madawaska-Victoria. Its creation was very controversial, as it included areas with both large anglophone and francophone populations, while neighbouring communities were placed in other ridings. This seemingly went against the "communities of interest" criterion in drawing electoral boundaries.
