History
It was created by the British North America Act 1867 which preserved existing electoral districts in Lower Canada. In 1933, Joliette became part of the new electoral district of Joliette—L'Assomption—Montcalm.
It was created again in 1966 from Berthier—Maskinongé—delanaudière, Joliette—L'Assomption—Montcalm and Terrebonne ridings.
This riding lost territory to Berthier—Maskinongé during the 2012 electoral redistribution.
Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, the riding was largely replaced by Joliette—Manawan. It lost the municipalities of Saint-Donat and Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci to Laurentides—Labelle; it lost the municipalities of Entrelacs and Chertsey to Les Pays-d'en-Haut; and it gained the Domaine-Ouellet area from Repentigny.
