Under the Constitutional Act of 1791, the district of Saint-Maurice was established. Its boundaries, which roughly covered the current Mauricie area except for the city of Trois-Rivières, were reduced when the district of Champlain was created in 1829.[1]

Saint-Maurice was represented simultaneously by two Members at the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada.
