History
The electoral district was created in 1996 from Central Nova and Dartmouth ridings, and was known as "Sackville—Musquodoboit Valley—Eastern Shore" from 1999 to 2003. MP Peter Stoffer tabled a Private Members Bill to change the name of the riding to "Sackville—Preston—Eastern Shore". As per the 2012 federal electoral redistribution, this riding was largely dissolved into the new riding of Sackville—Preston—Chezzetcook (94%), with small portions going to Central Nova (4%) and Dartmouth—Cole Harbour (2%).
Following the 2022 federal electoral redistribution, Sackville—Preston—Chezzetcook was largely replaced by the new riding of Sackville—Bedford—Preston. It gained the Bedford, Hammonds Plains and Lucasville areas from Halifax West; and the area north of Highways 111 and 118 plus the Lake Charles area from Dartmouth—Cole Harbour. It lost the Lawrencetown, Porters Lake and the Chezzetcook areas to Central Nova.
