This riding was created in 1949 when Newfoundland joined the Canadian Confederation.

It was abolished in 1976 when it was merged into Burin—St. George's riding.

It initially consisted of the Districts of Placentia West, Burin, Fortune Bay-Hermitage, and Burgeo and LaPoile and all the unorganized territory bounded on the North and West by the District of Grand Falls, on the South by the Districts of Burgeo and LaPoile and Fortune Bay-Hermitage, on the East by the Districts of Trinity North, Bonavista South and Bonavista North.
