## History

The riding was created when Newfoundland joined Confederation in 1949 and has historically been a conservative stronghold. St. John's East was won by Liberal Bonnie Hickey in 1993 election, who was defeated by Progressive Conservative Norman Doyle in the 1997 election. Doyle held the riding for the PCs and then the Conservatives, but stood down in 2008 and was replaced in a landslide by New Democrat, Jack Harris. Harris held the riding until his defeat in the 2015 election by Nick Whalen. That result was considered one of the biggest surprises of the 2015 election.
Following the 2012 electoral redistribution, 21% of the riding was moved into Avalon, and it gained 5% from St. John's South—Mount Pearl.
Following the 2022 electoral redistribution, it will lose all of its territory in Paradise to Cape Spear, and it will gain the rest of St. John's Harbour, the Wishingwell Park area and the Ayre Athletic Field area from St. John's South—Mount Pearl.
