History Salaberry—Suroît 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. It was created from the electoral districts of Beauharnois—Salaberry (76%) and Vaudreuil-Soulanges (24%).
Following the 2022 federal electoral boundaries redistribution, the riding was renamed Beauharnois—Salaberry—Soulanges—Huntingdon. It gained Les Cèdres and Pointe-des-Cascades from Vaudreuil—Soulanges; and lost the remainder of the Le Haut-Saint-Laurent Regional County Municipality and both the Village and Township of Hemmingford to the new riding of Châteauguay—Les Jardins-de-Napierville.
One September 16, 2026, the riding's name changed to Vallée-du-Haut-Saint-Laurent as part of Bill C-25 of the 45th Canadian Parliament.
Profile The Bloc dominates the north of the riding, in areas such as Beauharnois, Salaberry-de-Vallefield and Les Coteaux. To the south, the Liberals perform better in rural, more Anglophone communities such as Huntingdon and Ormstown. These distinctions were true even as the NDP held the riding in 2015.
