Prior to the 1885 United Kingdom general election the area was part of the Tyrone constituency. From the dissolution of Parliament in 1918 North Tyrone became part of the new North-West Tyrone constituency.
Notably, from 1895 until its abolition in 1918 the seat elected four Liberal MPs in succession by narrow margins; they were the only Liberals elected anywhere in Ireland during this time period, and remain the last MPs from a mainland party other than the Conservatives and their allies to represent a seat in the UK Parliament on the island of Ireland.
