The riding of Moncton was created in 1966 when the district of Westmorland was split. The other riding is now called Beauséjour. The riding's initial area consisted of the city of Moncton and town of Dieppe, two parishes in Westmorland County (Moncton and Salisbury), and the Parish of Coverdale in Albert County.
As the Moncton area grew in population the riding shrank. The area of Albert County outside the town of Riverview was removed in 1976, a large area north of Moncton was removed in 1987, and the Petitcodiac and Salisbury areas were removed in 1997, to the point where the riding no longer has any largely rural areas. In 1998, Riverview and Dieppe were added to the riding's name. In 2003, the more suburban areas of Riverview and the southern part of Dieppe were removed. Finally, in 2014, the remaining suburban areas of Dieppe were given to Beauséjour.
The riding includes the entire city of Moncton and most of the town of Riverview and the city of Dieppe excluding the north east section, i.e., Melanson Road and up to the city limits.[3][4]
Following the 2022 federal electoral redistribution, the riding will be replaced Moncton—Dieppe. It loses the remainder of the Town of Riverview to Fundy Royal and gains the remainder of the City of Moncton from Beauséjour and Fundy Royal (2023 borders).
