Quick Facts Current constituency, Created ...

It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Craigavon Area D which had existed since 1973, where it contained seven wards (Church, Knocknashane, Magheralin, Mourneview, Parklake, Taghnevan and Waringstown). For the 2014 local elections it gained much of the abolished Loughside DEA around Aghagallon, while losing areas to the new Lagan River DEA around Waringstown.
