1997–present: The Borough of Broxbourne, and the District of Welwyn Hatfield ward of Northaw.
The constituency was created in 1983 from the former seat of East Hertfordshire.
Broxbourne is, on the winning candidate's share of the vote, the safest seat for any Conservative in Hertfordshire and one of the safest in the country.
Just beyond the outer limits of Greater London, the seat consists almost exclusively of low unemployment census output areas, with walks, golf courses and leisure facilities and a relatively high proportion compared to Greater London of the retired and high-income self-employed, Broxbourne's economy is also supported by good links to the City of London by train.
