[edit] History

It was created in 2006 as a result of rapid population growth in the City of Fredericton north of the St. John River. It includes those parts of the old Fredericton North district that were west of the Westmorland Street Bridge as well as some suburban communities previously in the district of Mactaquac.

Its first (and to date only) representative is Liberal T. J. Burke, the incumbent from the old Fredericton North district.
