History
The constituency was created for the first general elections in newly independent Bangladesh, held in 1973.

Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census. The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.

Elections in the 2010s
Rashed Khan Menon was re-elected unopposed in the 2014 general election after opposition parties withdrew their candidacies in a boycott of the election.
