The electoral district was created in the British North America Act 1867 as "Portneuf". It was renamed "Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier" on 1 September 2004.

The Conservative Party did not run a candidate in Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier in the 2008 and 2011 elections as incumbent independent André Arthur was a self-described libertarian who consistently voted with and supported the Conservative Party in the House of Commons.

There were no changes to this riding during the 2012 electoral redistribution.

Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, it lost the municipalities of Lac-Beauport and Sainte-Brigitte-de-Laval to Montmorency—Charlevoix.
