The electorate was created in 1981, when the Constitution Amendment (No. 9) Act 1980–1981[1] adjusted electorate boundaries and split the electorate of Te-au-o-tonga into four. In 1986 by the Constitution Amendment (No. 12) Act 1986 transferred the tapere of Atupa to Avatiu–Ruatonga–Palmerston.[2] It consists of the tapere of Pokoinu, Nikao, Puapuautu, Areanu, and Kaikaveka on the island of Rarotonga.
