It was created for the 1955 general election, and abolished for the 1983 general election. It was then largely replaced by the revived Eddisbury constituency, while the eponymous town became part of the new Crewe and Nantwich constituency.

The Urban Districts of Middlewich, Nantwich, and Winsford, and parts of the Rural Districts of Nantwich, Northwich, and Tarvin.

When created in 1955, the seat was a county constituency formed as the southernmost division of Cheshire in North East England. Nantwich itself had previously been part of the Crewe constituency. The rest of the new seat had been split off from the Northwich constituency.
