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 will largely be replaced by Joliette—Manawan. It loses the municipalities of Saint-Donat and Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci to Laurentides—Labelle; loses Entrelacs and Chertsey to Les Pays-d'en-Haut; and gains the Domaine-Ouellet area from Repentigny.
