The constituency was created in 1984 from the Faridpur-15 constituency when the former Faridpur District was split into five districts: [Rajbari](/source/Rajbari_District), [Faridpur](/source/Faridpur_District), [Gopalganj](/source/Gopalganj_District_(Bangladesh)), [Madaripur](/source/Madaripur_District), and [Shariatpur](/source/Shariatpur_District).[4]

Ahead of the [2008 general election](/source/2008_Bangladeshi_general_election), the [Election Commission](/source/Bangladesh_Election_Commission) redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the [2001 Bangladesh census](/source/2001_Bangladesh_census).[5] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.[6]
