It was abolished in the 1973 electoral redistribution when the province moved to single member districts; at the time it elected three members and it was split into three single member districts: Carleton North, Carleton Centre and Carleton South.

During its time, three premiers represented the riding: James Kidd Flemming, Hugh John Flemming and Richard Hatfield.
