As a county palatine it was unrepresented in the Parliament until the 34 & 35 Hen VIII. c. 13. Cheshire was represented by two Knights of the Shire from 1545, with only County Durham out of the English counties being left unrepresented after that.
It was divided between the constituencies of North Cheshire and South Cheshire in 1832.
