Gateshead East, as could be inferred from the name, formed the eastern part of the Borough of Gateshead, now in Tyne and Wear. The constituency was created by the Representation of the People Act 1948 for the 1950 general election when the existing Gateshead seat was split in two. It was abolished for the 1997 general election, when it was largely replaced by the new constituency of Gateshead East and Washington West, with smaller areas going to Tyne Bridge and Jarrow.
It returned Labour MPs for the entire period of its existence.
The East Central and North East wards were transferred to Gateshead West. Felling transferred from Jarrow.
Minor changes to reflect redistribution of local authority wards.
A small part included in the new constituency of Tyne Bridge. Gained parts of the abolished constituency of Gateshead West.

The county of Durham has returned 7 MPs to the UK Parliament since 1983. Under the Local Government Act 1972, which came into effect on 1 April 1974, the boundaries of the historic/administrative county were significantly altered with the north-east of the county, comprising more than half the electorate, being transferred to the new metropolitan county of Tyne and Wear. In addition, the borough of Hartlepool was included in the new county of Cleveland. These changes were reflected in the following redistribution of parliamentary seats which did not come into effect until the 1983 general election, resulting in a reduction in the county's representation from 16 to 7 MPs.
