It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Antrim Area B which had existed since 1973, and contained the wards of Aldergrove, Ballycraigy, Clady, Crumlin, Greystone, New Park and Templepatrick. For the 1993 local elections, it lost Greystone to Antrim DEA but gained Parkgate. It was abolished for the 2014 local elections and most of the area was transferred to the new Airport DEA.
