The GRC was formed during the 2011 election, absorbing former SMCs of Nee Soon Central and Nee Soon East, and divisions from Ang Mo Kio GRC (Nee Soon South) and Sembawang GRC (Canberra and Chong Pang Division). In 2015, Canberra, Simpang, Gambas, Sembawang town and parts of Yishun were returned to Sembawang GRC, while the majority of Kebun Baru division from Ang Mo Kio GRC was absorbed in return.
Nee Soon GRC is currently led by the Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam and co-led by Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Social and Family Development and Education Associate Professor Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim.
