The constituency was created by the Great Reform Act of 1832 by the splitting of Lancashire constituency into Northern and Southern divisions. It was abolished by the Second Reform Act of 1867.
Boundaries
This constituency comprised the hundreds of Salford and West Derby in the southern part of Lancashire.
