Prior to 1885 the area was part of the Cavan constituency. After 1922, on the establishment of the Irish Free State, the area was not represented in the UK Parliament.
This constituency comprised the western part of County Cavan, consisting of the baronies of Clanmahon, Loughtee Lower, Tullyhaw and Tullyhunco, that part of the barony of Loughtee Upper contained within the parishes of Annagelliff, Castleterra, Kilmore and Urney and the townland of Crumlin in the parish of Denn, and that part of the barony of Tullygarvey contained within the parish of Annagh.
^At the 1895 general election, Knox was elected for both West Cavan and for Londonderry City. He chose to sit for Londonderry, triggering a by-election in West Cavan.
