A riding directly south of Hamilton’s downtown core, this electoral district is bordered by the Niagara Escarpment east of West 5th road, and Rymal Road to the south—except for the area between the Lincoln Alexander Parkway and Rymal, where the western border becomes Garth Street.

The riding was created in 1966 from parts of Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Aldershot, Hamilton South, Hamilton West, Stoney Creek, and Wentworth ridings. In 2003, the riding was redefined to what it is now. It has a riding population of around 103,615.
