Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was subject to boundary changes which included gain of the Isle of Axholme in the Borough of North Lincolnshire and the loss of Conisbrough to the new constituency of Rawmarsh and Conisbrough. As a consequence, it was renamed Doncaster East and the Isle of Axholme, and was first contested at the 2024 general election.[2]
Created in 1918, Don Valley is a former coal mining area which elected only Labour MPs from 1922 to 2019. The seat recorded a strong Brexit vote (69%) in the 2016 referendum.
1918—1950: The Urban Districts of Mexborough and Tickhill, and the Rural Districts of Doncaster and Thorne.
1950—1983: The Urban Districts of Adwick-le-Street, Bentley with Arksey, and Tickhill, and the Rural District of Doncaster.
1983—1997: The Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster wards of Conisbrough, Edlington and Warmsworth, Mexborough, Richmond, Rossington, South East, and Southern Parks.
1997—2010: The Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster wards of Conisbrough, Edlington and Warmsworth, Hatfield, Rossington, South East, and Southern Parks.
2010—2024: The Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster wards of Conisbrough and Denaby, Edlington and Warmsworth, Finningley, Hatfield, Rossington, Thorne, and Torne Valley.
The current constituency consists of the southern Borough of Doncaster, from Hatfield and the Humberhead Peatlands Nature Reserve in the north and northeast, through Branton, Auckley, and Rossington, to the Torne Valley electoral ward which consists of Wadworth, Tickhill, Braithwell, and in the west Conisbrough.
In boundary changes which took effect at the 2010 election, Sprotbrough was moved to Doncaster North, while in the east the town of Thorne was moved from Doncaster North into Don Valley.
