It was created for the 1867 election, and an electoral district of that name existed earlier in the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada.
It was named after former New France explorer Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville.
The city of Saint-Pie was lost to the Saint-Hyacinthe district in the 2011 electoral map, updated from the 2001 map.
Since the 1980s, three Iberville MNAs have crossed the floor:
- Yvon Lafrance, elected liberal (1989) becomes in 1994 the first ADQ sitting in history
- André Riedl, elected adéquiste (2007) joins the liberal government in 2008
- Claire Samson, elected in 2014 and 2018 as a member of the CAQ, in 2021 joins the Conservative Party of Quebec, and becomes its first sitting member in the national assembly.
Note: Manitoba also has a provincial electoral district named Iberville, and there was also a federal Iberville electoral district.
