It consisted initially of the County of Grenville and the County of Leeds, excluding the Town of Smiths Falls. Since 1987, it has consisted of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville.

With the 2012 electoral redistribution, this district lost a small portion of territory to Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, and renamed Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes.
