Beauharnois riding was created in the ''British North America Act'' of 1867. It was merged into Beauharnois—Laprairie riding in 1933. In 1947, "Beauharnois" riding was re-created from Beauharnois—Laprairie and Châteauguay—Huntingdon. In 1952, it became "Beauharnois—Salaberry". It reverted to "Beauharnois" from 1966 to 1971, and from 1976 to 1977.
