History Coast of Bays—Central—Notre Dame was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and was legally defined in the 2013 representation order. It came into effect upon the call of the 2015 Canadian federal election, held October 19, 2015. It was created from the portions of the island of Newfoundland previously included in the electoral districts of Bonavista—Gander—Grand Falls—Windsor (72%), Humber—St. Barbe—Baie Verte (18%) and Random—Burin—St. George's (10%). It was the first election result called for in the 2015 and 2019 Canadian federal election.
Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, this riding was renamed Central Newfoundland.
The riding's name was reverted to Coast of Bays—Central—Notre Dame in 2026 as part of Bill C-25 of the 45th Canadian Parliament.
