Boundaries
The seat was created in a boundary review conducted in 1995 and was predominantly made out of the western half of the old Mid Ulster constituency - indeed it contains more of the old Mid Ulster than the current seat of that name. It also contains parts of the old Foyle constituency and now shares exactly the same boundaries as the districts of Omagh and Strabane.
Although the Boundary Commission altered several Northern Ireland constituencies for the 2010 General Election, West Tyrone was left unchanged.
