1918-1950 elected Conservatives, all three officers who had fought with some distinction in either of the two World Wars. The current constituency was created for the 1997 general election, when Parliament approved for Staffordshire the additional seat proposed by the Boundary Commission. The constituency was formed from parts of the Stafford, Staffordshire Moorlands and Mid Staffordshire.
