In the redistribution of 2004, Châteauguay-St-Constant was created from 90 per cent of Châteauguay riding, with a southern portion moving into Beauharnois-Salaberry riding. A riding called Châteauguay was created in 1867, but was abolished in 1914. In 1976, Châteauguay was re-established from 74 per cent of Laprairie, 21 per cent of St-Jean and four per cent of Beauharnois-Salaberry. In 1996, the riding added another portion of Beauharnois-Salaberry.
