History

Stockport was created as a two-member parliamentary borough by the Reform Act 1832. Under the Representation of the People Act 1918, the constituency was retained as one of only 12 two-member non-university seats, with the boundaries being brought into line with those of the county borough, which had expanded through absorbing the urban districts of Reddish and Heaton Norris (formerly part of the Stretford constituency), and into neighbouring parishes in the abolished constituency of Hyde.

Under the Representation of the People Act 1948, all 2-member seats were abolished and Stockport was split into the single member seats of Stockport North and Stockport South.

Following the formation of the metropolitan borough of Stockport under the Local Government Act 1972, the single Stockport seat, electing one MP, was recreated for the 1983 general election, encompassing central and southern parts of the ex-county borough, with northern parts, including Reddish, forming part of the new Denton and Reddish seat.
