The riding was created in 1978 when the former district of Halifax Cobequid was redistributed. In 1993 the name was changed to Sackville-Cobequid and it gained the Lakeview area from Bedford-Musquodoboit Valley and lost an area north of Beaverbank Road to Sackville-Beaver Bank. In 2003, there were minor changes made to the ridings northern boundary along Second Lake. In 2013, this district lost a small area along its northwestern edge to the new constituency of Sackville-Beaver Bank.[1]
Its Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) since 2003 was Dave Wilson of the Nova Scotia New Democratic Party (NDP) until resigning[2] on November 16th 2018, triggering a by-election.
