History

Created at Confederation in 1867, the electoral district was known as Gloucester until an 1990 Act of Parliament renamed it to its current designation.^[3]

After electoral boundary changes in 2003, residents argued that regional interests, particularly linguistic representation, were improperly diluted.^[4] The Library of Parliament recounts the Federal Court of Canada's Raîche v. Canada (Attorney General decision:

"The Court held that while the electoral boundaries commission for New Brunswick had been within its right to try keep any variance in the population of electoral districts under 10%, it did not correctly interpret the spirit of the EBRA (Electoral Bounds Readjustment Act) when it failed to consider whether a greater variation in regard of community of interest and regional features would be desirable for any electoral districts. The Court declared invalid the Miramichi and Acadie–Bathurst electoral boundaries."

The current boundaries reverted to the ones used in the 1996 representation after the 2006 election. As per the 2012 federal electoral redistribution, this riding gained a small territory from what was part of Miramichi.

The 1997 general election saw the NDP take the riding for the first time, with Yvon Godin holding the district until 2015.
