History

The electoral district was created in 2003: 95.1% of the population of the riding came from St. John's West, and 4.9% from St. John's East ridings. As of the 2012 electoral redistribution, 5% of this riding would be moved to St. John's East, and it would gain 3% from Avalon.

The 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution concluded that the electoral boundaries of St. John's South—Mount Pearl should be adjusted, and a modified electoral district of the same name will be contested in future elections.[3] The redefined St. John's South—Mount Pearl had its boundaries legally defined in the 2013 representation order which came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, scheduled for 19 October 2015.[4]
