The constituency was created under the Electoral (Revision of Constituencies) Act 1935 and first used at the 1937 general election, when the former Galway constituency was split into Galway East and Galway West.
It currently spans the western half of County Galway, taking in Galway city, the Galway Gaeltacht, and Clifden, as well as part of southern County Mayo.[1]
