The constituency was created for the 1950 general election as part of the First Periodic Review of Westminster Constituencies of seats by a permanent Boundary Commission for England which had been established by the House of Commons (Redistribution of Seats) Act 1944.
The constituency comprised the Urban District of Beaconsfield and parts of the Rural District of Amersham, transferred from the Aylesbury constituency, and the Rural District of Eton, transferred from Eton and Slough.
The constituency was abolished for the February 1974 general election, when major boundary changes split the area between the new constituencies of Beaconsfield and Chesham and Amersham. The parts of the Rural District of Amersham were included in Chesham and Amersham. Beaconsfield and the Rural District of Eton formed the bulk of the Beaconsfield constituency.
South Buckinghamshire was a county constituency and a division of the administrative county of Buckinghamshire. It comprised part of southern Buckinghamshire, bordering Aylesbury to the north, Wycombe to the west and Eton and Slough to the south.
