Loughborough was originally part of a larger constituency, Leicestershire which was split into two districts in the Reform Act of 1932

In 1995 the Soar Valley was moved to the newly created Charnwood constituency approximately reinstating the old version of the seat.

The last time that Loughborough was not represented by an MP from a governing political party was prior to the February 1974 general election., making the constituency a bellwether.
