History

The constituency was established in 1926 as Northern, covering Broken Hill, Kasempa, Mkushi, Mwinilunga, Ndola and Solwezi.[1] In 1929 Abercorn, Chinsali, Isoka, Kasama, Luwingu, Mpika and Mporokoso were added to the constituency, whilst Kasempa, Ndola and Solwezi were transferred to the new Ndola constituency.[1]

In 1941 the constituency was renamed Broken Hill, covering only Broken Hill, Mkushi and Serenje, with the remaining settlements transferred to the new North-Eastern constituency.[1] It was reduced in size again in 1948, now covering only the urban area of Broken Hill and the northern part of the Broken Hill rural area.[1]

The constituency was renamed Kabwe in 1964, and became Kabwe Central in 2001.
