The constituency name refers to the former county of Montgomeryshire and the former district of Glyndŵr. Upon its abolition, the predecessor seat, Montgomeryshire, was the only one in Wales never to elect a member of the Labour Party, but at the 2024 election Montgomeryshire and Glyndŵr elected Steve Witherden, making him the first Labour MP ever to represent the former Montgomeryshire area in the House of Commons.
