It is currently held by independent MPP Bobbi Ann Brady. Prior to her election to the Legislative Assembly, Brady worked as executive assistant to her predecessor, Progressive Conservative MPP Toby Barrett. When Barrett announced his retirement, Brady planned to run for the nomination to replace him as the PC candidate, but after the party's central office directly appointed Haldimand County mayor Ken Hewitt as its new candidate without consulting the local electoral district association, Brady opted to run against Hewitt as an independent, with Barrett's endorsement and participation in her campaign. She retained her seat at the 2025 election with 63% of the vote.

The riding includes all of the counties of Haldimand and Norfolk.

The riding also existed from 1934 to 1987.
