The constituency was created in 1997, and it elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post method of election.

This Cheshire/Wales boundary seat is part of the industrial hinterland on the outskirts of Wrexham. It was formerly known as East Flintshire until the 1983 boundary review, which saw it renamed after the Alyn and Deeside district created in 1974. The main population areas in the current seat include Shotton, Connah's Quay, Buckley, Hawarden and Caergwrle.
Following their review of parliamentary representation in Wales, the Boundary Commission for Wales made only minor alterations to this constituency.
