It contains the regional county municipalities of Beauharnois-Salaberry, Les Jardins-de-Napierville and Le Haut-St-Laurent, including part of the Akwesasne Indian Reserve No. 15 in Quebec in the southwest corner of the riding.
The major population areas include Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Beauharnois, Huntingdon, Maple Grove and Napierville.
In 2004, a portion of Châteauguay riding was added in the east. This riding existed as Beauharnois in the 1949 election and became Beauharnois-Salaberry in 1952. It was Beauharnois again in the 1968 election and was re-established as Beauharnois-Salaberry in 1972. In 1996, small parts of St-Jean and Châteauguay ridings were added.
Population: 106,856 (2006 census; an increase of 2.9% since 2001)
