The riding was created in the
1973 redistribution and was called East Saint John. The riding was created from the
two member district of
Saint John East, which was divided into this riding and
Saint John-Fundy. Under the
1994 redistribution the riding was largely unchanged, losing some territory to Saint John-Fundy while gaining other small parts from Saint John-Fundy and
Saint John Park. It was renamed Saint John Champlain as parts of the
City of Saint John known locally as East Saint John had been moved out of the district. In
2006, the district boundaries were again changed, losing some territory to adjacent districts but taking in all of what is known as East Saint John; as a result, its name was changed to Saint John East. At the
2013 redistribution, the riding was altered significantly with nearly half of its population moving to the north to join
Saint John Portland, being replaced by territory gained from the abolished district of
Saint John-Fundy.

Gary Keating resigned on October 14, 2014, just 22 days after being elected. Keating was never sworn in.
