The district was created for the 2014 local elections, replacing the Victoria DEA,[http://www.deac-ni.org/final_belfast__300dpi_a2_.pdf Map] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160505172452/http://www.deac-ni.org/final_belfast__300dpi_a2_.pdf |date=2016-05-05 }} from the [http://www.deac-ni.org/final-maps.htm District Electoral Areas Commissioner Maps page] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160505180824/http://www.deac-ni.org/final-maps.htm |date=2016-05-05 }}.
