This district contained the northern third of Carleton County, including the municipalities of Bath, Bristol, Centreville and Florenceville.

In 1987, Liberal Fred Harvey was elected in a landslide which saw the Liberals win every seat in the legislature. Harvey was narrowly re-elected in 1991 but was expelled from the legislature in 1993 for violations of the Elections Act.[3]

Dale Graham, a Progressive Conservative, was elected in a 1993 by-election.[4] Graham was re-elected 5 times in the successor district of Carleton and serve as deputy premier and speaker.[5]
