Between 1983 and 1997, the constituency was defined as the District of Fermanagh and the District of Dungannon. From 1997 onwards, it has been comprised of the District of Fermanagh and specific wards within the District of Dungannon: Augher, Aughnacloy, Ballygawley, Ballysaggart, Benburb, Caledon, Castlecaulfield, Clogher, Coolhill, Drumglass, Fivemiletown, Killyman, Killymeal, Moy, Moygashel, and Mullaghmore.

The constituency emerged in 1950, replacing the dual-member Fermanagh and Tyrone seat as part of a wider move towards single-member constituencies. It encompasses all of County Fermanagh and the southern part of County Tyrone, including initially all areas of Fermanagh, and Dungannon and South Tyrone post-1973. A boundary review in 1995 led to adjustments, transferring an area around Coalisland from Dungannon and South Tyrone (then known as Dungannon) to the Mid Ulster constituency.
