Antrim, sometimes known as Antrim Borough to distinguish it from the former constituency of the same name, was a single-member county constituency of the Parliament of Northern Ireland.

Boundaries and boundary changes

Antrim was a division of County Antrim. Before 1929 it was part of the seven-member Antrim constituency, with which it shared a name. The constituency sent one MP to the House of Commons of Northern Ireland from 1929 until the Parliament was temporarily suspended in 1972, and then formally abolished in 1973.

The division, from 1929 until 1969, adjoined Antrim Mid to the north, Antrim Bannside and Lough Neagh to the west, Antrim South to the south, Belfast to the south-east, Antrim Carrick to the east and Antrim Larne to the north-east.

In terms of the then local government areas the constituency in 1929 comprised parts of the rural districts of Antrim, Ballymena, Belfast and Lisburn.

After boundary changes in 1969, the constituency included parts of the rural districts of Antrim and Lisburn.

From 1969-1973, the division bordered Bannside to the north-west, Larne to the north-east, Carrick and Newtownabbey to the east, Belfast and Larkfield to the south-east, South Antrim to the south and Lough Neagh to the west.

Politics

Antrim was only represented by two MPs, both members of the Ulster Unionist Party. They typically held a large majority and many elections were uncontested.
