This riding was created in the 1976 redistribution as "Humber—St. Barbe" from parts of Humber—St. George's—St. Barbe riding. The name of the electoral district was changed to "Humber—Port au Port—St. Barbe" in 1978.

It was abolished in the 1987 redistribution when it was redistributed into Burin—St. George's and Humber—St. Barbe—Baie Verte ridings.
