History
Charlesbourg was created in 1976 from parts of Portneuf and Montmorency. It was renamed Charlesbourg—Jacques-Cartier in 2000 and abolished in 2003, at which point a new Charlesbourg riding was created. After the federal election in 2004, it was renamed Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles.
The riding gained a small fraction of territory from Louis-Saint-Laurent from the 2012 electoral redistribution.
Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, the riding gained territory from Louis-Saint-Laurent east of the following line: Boul. Val-Cartier to Rue de la Rivière-Nelson, Rivière Saint-Charles, the eastern limits of the Wendake Indian Reserve, Boul. Bastien, Boul. Pierre-Bertrand, lost the territory east of Ch. de Château-Bigot and Av. du Bourg-Royal and north of Boul. Louis-XIV to Montmorency—Charlevoix, and lost territory to Beauport—Limoilou south of a line that follows Rue de Chamonix, 10e Av. East, and Boul. Louix-XIV, and an additional territory south of a line that follows 41e Rue West, to Boul. Henri-Bourassa to Autoroute 40.
