## Extent
### 2009–2021

The division's boundaries remained relatively stable during boundary changes before the 2013 elections. Between 2013 and 2021, the division covered the north of Redruth as well as the villages of Tolgus Mount and North Country and the hamlets of Plain-an-Gwarry, Gilbert's Coombe and Sparnon Gate. Parts of Mawla and Wheal Rose are also included, with both being split between the divisions of Redruth North and Mount Hawke & Portreath. The division was separated from Redruth Central and Redruth South by the railway line and was separated from Four Lanes and Illogan by the stream through the Tolgus valley.
During the 2010s, the population of Redruth North grew at a significantly higher rate than other divisions in the area.

### 2021–present

There are few changes to the boundaries after 2021; the division still largely covers the north of Redruth as well as Tolgus Mount, Gilbert's Coombe, Sparnon Gate and North County. The area between the railway line and Blowinghouse Hill and West End is now part of the Redruth South division, making the current division slightly smaller than under the previous boundaries.
