The 2003 redistribution abolished New Brunswick Southwest. The territory of the riding was combined with the area around Belleisle Bay in south-central New Brunswick), and named "St. Croix—Belleisle". This riding was renamed "New Brunswick Southwest" in 2004.
The 2012 federal electoral redistribution saw this riding gain territory from Fredericton, and lose small portions to Fredericton and Fundy Royal.
Following the 2022 federal electoral redistribution, the riding was largely replaced by Saint John—St. Croix. It gained the City of Saint John west of the St. John River from Saint John—Rothesay, it gained Burton from Fredericton and lost the Parishes of Dumfries, Prince William, Manners Sutton, Kingsclear, and the municipalities of Hanwell, and Harvey and the Indian Reserve of Kingsclear 6 to Tobique—Mactaquac. These changes came into effect upon the calling of the 2025 Canadian federal election.
