It was created for the 2012 election from part of the former Prévost electoral district.[3] The Prévost electoral district consisted solely of the town of Prévost and of the city of Saint-Jérôme. In the change from the 2001 to the 2011 electoral map, the eponymous municipality of Prévost was moved to the Bertrand electoral district; the Prévost electoral district became defunct and the remaining municipality of Saint-Jérôme became a separate new electoral district in its own right, named after itself.
