The constituency was created when, ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census.[3] The 2008 redistricting added a new seat to Gazipur District, increasing the number of constituencies in the district from four to five.[4]
