The neighbouring ridings are Miramichi, Tobique—Mactaquac, Rimouski-Neigette—Témiscouata—Les Basques, Haute-Gaspésie—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia, and Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
Template:Historical populations
In 2008, Liberal support was focused in the eastern and central parts of the riding, particularly in Edmundston, Campbellton, and Dalhousie. Support for the Conservatives was centered in the western part of the riding, in a strip of land bordering both Maine and Quebec. There was also a pocket of Tory support outside Saint-Leonard. The NDP won six polls in the riding, all in the Dalhousie area, a community they won.<ref>Pundit's Guide.ca http://www.punditsguide.ca/riding/?riding=973&pane=3</ref>
The electoral district was created in 1996 from Madawaska—Victoria and from Restigouche—Chaleur ridings. This riding gained a small amount of territory from Miramichi as a result of the 2012 federal electoral redistribution.
Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, the riding gained the parishes of Drummond and the northern half of Grand Falls and the municipalities of Saint-André, Grand Falls and Drummond from Tobique—Mactaquac, while the boundary with Miramichi—Grand Lake was rerouted around Mount Carleton Provincial Park and the Nepisiguit Protected Natural Area. These changes came into effect upon the calling of the 2025 Canadian federal election.
