Contents

It was created for the 1966 election from parts of Québec-Comté and Québec-Ouest electoral districts.

In the change from the 2001 to the 2011 electoral map, it gained Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures from La Peltrie; it also gained part of Quebec City from La Peltrie, but lost part of the city to Jean-Talon.

The riding was named after the first legal farmer of New France, Louis Hébert.
