History

The constituency was created under the overhaul of the electoral system imposed by the Beijing government in 2021, replacing Central and Western District and Southern District in the Hong Kong Island constituency and Islands District in the New Territories West constituency used from 1998 to 2021. Constituencies with the same name were also created for the 1991 and 1995 elections in the late colonial period, while the 1991 constituency also elected two seats with each voter having two votes with a similar boundary.
