It was abolished in the 2010 redistricting of French legislative constituencies, which reduced the number of constituencies in Paris to 18. The territory of the constituency, in the north-east of Paris, mostly moved to the new 16th constituency (apart from a small area of the Quartier du Combat).

After the 1986 French legislative election, the new Prime Minister Jacques Chirac re-established the two-round single-member district electoral system. The number of deputies from Paris was maintained at 21 and the previous (pre-1986) electoral constituencies were therefore reduced from 31 to 21. The constituency covered three neighbourhoods of the 19th arrondissement, Pont-de-Flandres, Amérique and Combat.^[1][2] It corresponded to the 29th and part of the 28th constituencies of Paris in the period 1958-86.

In 1999, the Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques estimated the population of the constituency as 116,985 inhabitants.^[3]

The constituency was abolished in 2012 - Cambadélis continued as the deputy for the 16th constituency, which covers almost exactly the same territory.
