The district was created following the 2015 redistribution which saw the elimination of the district of Bellevue. The district was largely preceded by the district of Burin-Placentia West which was abolished in 2015. Marystown is the largest population centre in the district.[2][3][4][5]
The district contains an intra-provincial ferry servicing South East Bight.[6][7][8]
